Vergelegen Wine Estate.

Vergelegen, with its magnificent backdrop of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, is a must for all visitors. Granted to Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel in 1700, and one of the Helderbergs most historic landmarks, the property and its buildings have been extensively restored. Visitors can admire the ancient Camphor Trees (declared national monuments in 1942), wander through the Octagonal and Rose Gardens and view the library.
There are guided tours to the Wine Cellar at 10:30, 11:30 and 14:30 Monday to Saturday. Built into the side of Rondekop Hill, the wine cellar also offers stunning views across False Bay to Table Mountain.
