GAUTENG’S MOST POPULAR WINE ROUTE

 

 

This unique inland Wine Route has grown in popularity for over a decade now, to where it can now claim to be the best supported Wine Route in Gauteng, entertaining thousands of wine lovers over the dry winter months of the Highveld. The secret to its success, is that it is a well priced family winter outing, at a time  when most Gautengers are starved of something fun and it won’t burn the wallet and it is in close proximity for all to enjoy.

Just 45-minutes from Johannesburg, via good freeway access, one finds oneself at a dozen or more venues on and around the banks of the Vaal River, who have all joined together to showcase over 200 different wines between them. 

There are many ways to enjoy the 6 week Vaal River Meander Wine Route, be it by vintage car, house boat, luxury cruiser, wine route taxi, speedboat, tour-bus, a chauffeur drive or your own car - the Vaal River Wine Meander has that special something for everyone!
