Discover the Diamond and Wine Route

The Diamond and Wine Route combines two great South African stories. Around Jacobsdal in the Free State, irrigated vineyards grow along the Riet River, while nearby Kimberley is famous for its diamond-mining history.

Wine is produced here in a warm, dry inland climate. As a result, the route offers a fascinating contrast to the Cape winelands. It is ideal for travellers who enjoy history, heritage and discovering something new.

Why visit

  • Inland wines grown along the Riet River
  • Kimberley’s Big Hole and diamond-mining heritage
  • Historic battlefields and small-town character
  • A unique stop on a road trip through central South Africa
