Did you know that Constantia is South Africa’s oldest wine region? Founded in 1685, it is known for its historic estates and the famous Vin de Constance, once enjoyed by Napoleon and Jane Austen. The area still reflects its Cape Dutch heritage with beautifully preserved manor houses and old vineyards.

What makes Constantia special is its mix of history, natural beauty, and a relaxed, upmarket feel. It’s surrounded by lush greenbelts, mountain views, and forested trails and home to excellent restaurants, artisanal markets, and boutique stays.

Popular things to do include wine tasting at estates like Groot Constantia, Buitenverwachting, and Constantia Glen, exploring Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens nearby, or mountain biking in Tokai Forest. The Constantia Greenbelt offers scenic walking, running, and horse-riding trails through forests and streams.

Whether you’re into nature, wine, or just quiet charm and luxury villas, Constantia offers a bit of everything.
