Publishers Text

This text is an informative and detailed travel book which brings to life the history of the winelands towns of Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Franschhoek, Paarl, Wellington and Tulbagh, all within easy reach of Cape Town. The 224 illustrated pages, inclusive of a 32-page colour insert and wine route maps, business and name indexes, weave in stories and legends and describes the early architecture at the Cape. The book also talks of of slaves and slavery, of Dutch East India Company rule, governors and servants and explains the birth of Afrikaans. It highlights influential personalities and remarkable characters, tells the story of the Huguenots and wine, takes the visitor on a walk and/or drive through the towns, and ultimately directs him to the beautiful wine farms and estates.
