SENSORY JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY The balance of the day is spent exploring the non-traditional and unique offerings that the Cape Winelands has to offer. Hidden in the shadow of the Cape sandstone and granite mountain complex that is “Paarlberg-Mountain”, you will find the “Spice-Route”. Centuries ago, anyone with a desire to explore exotic flavours and experiences would have needed to wait for the seasonal return of the traders travelling the Spice Route. Fortunately, these days a journey of discovery is easily reached, a sensory feast for today’s connoisseurs of craftsmanship and authenticity. The Spice-Route was inspired to bring together artisanal food crafters and craftsman of arts together into a space where they could be enjoyed. Here, you will find everything bears its creator’s personal touch. From single origin chocolatiers to craft brewers of beer, to glass- blowers, to a distillery and a confectioners bakery that will delight you. “The vision for Spice Route is to offer visitors a selection of hand- picked artisanal producers who put as much thought, skill and passion into their products, as the wine-makers of the Cape Winelands put into their wine.
