Discover the Stanford Wine Route

Stanford is one of the Overberg’s prettiest villages, with historic cottages, a village green and the peaceful Klein River. The Stanford Wine Route spreads out into the hills around it, just 20 minutes beyond Hermanus.

Cool air from Walker Bay keeps the vineyards fresh, even in summer. Therefore, look forward to vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, plus a few delightful surprises from small producers.

Why visit

  • A charming historic village with cafés, crafts and a river
  • Fresh, cool-climate wines from small family cellars
  • Birding, river cruises and beautiful countryside walks
  • An easy pairing with Hermanus and the Hemel-en-Aarde
