Constantia

The most upmarket of the so-called Southern Suburbs, this primarily residential zone is home to several of the Cape’s oldest wine estates, and contains a few excellent dining options as well. It's about a half-hour drive from Cape Town Central, so you'll need wheels to get around. If you don't have time for the Cape Winelands but still want to experience the Cape's stellar wines, Constantia's many excellent estates are a lovely compromise.
