Paarl

Some of the top vineyards to visit in Paarl include Nederburg, known for its historic estate and exceptional wines; Fairview, famous for its goat tower and diverse wine selection; and Babylonstoren, a stunning farm with a beautiful garden and restaurant.

Besides wine tasting, you can explore the Afrikaans Language Monument, hike up Paarl Rock for breathtaking views, visit the Drakenstein Lion Park, or enjoy a leisurely cycle through the vineyards. There are also various art galleries and craft shops to explore.

The best time to visit Paarl is during the shoulder seasons, from March to May and September to November. The weather is pleasant, the vineyards are beautiful, and the crowds are smaller than during the peak summer months.
