Described as one of the world's most beautiful vineyards, Klein Constantia is set among centuries-old trees and lush greenery at the foot of Mount Constantia, with stunning views over the Constantia Valley and False Bay. The 146 hectare wine farm was originally part of "Constantia", a huge estate founded in 1685 by Simon van der Stel, the first governor of the Cape. This particular valley was chosen not only for its beauty, but also for the decomposed granite soils on its slopes, which are gently cooled by sea breezes. The perfect location for cool climate wines, Klein Constantia produces some of South Africa's finest wines, including one of the world's best natural sweet wines, Vin de Constance.
