Visitors can taste the fine wines and experience a unique journey through each of the 8 open-for-public farms, which also hold top-class Restaurants, namely e.g. “Chef’s Warehouse” at Beau Constantia and “The Restaurant” at Buitenverwachting. The farms are all within a few minutes’ drive of each other. With two top-class golf courses within the valley and two others in the vicinity Constantia is well known as one of the golfing paradises of the world. It includes Constantia craft market, local horse-riding and mountain-biking trails, and the up-market Constantia Village Shopping Centre which offers a wonderful variety of boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants.

We are situated in a beautiful countryside with all the trappings of contemporary living. Constantia has an excellent infrastructure with all amenities.
