Discover the Midlands Meander Wine Route

The KwaZulu-Natal Midlands is a world of misty hills, forests and peaceful farmland. The famous Midlands Meander links art studios, cheeseries, breweries and restaurants, and a growing number of wine producers.

Wine here is a young and exciting story. Unlike the Cape, the Midlands has summer rainfall and a cooler inland climate. Therefore, local winemakers are experimenting with varieties and styles that suit these unique conditions.

Why visit

  • A fresh, young wine scene outside the Western Cape
  • Arts, crafts, cheese and food stops along the way
  • Green hills, forests and cool country air
  • An easy getaway from Durban and Pietermaritzburg
