In this episode I take you on a tour of the Hermanus wine route on the R320 to the top three wineries, Sumaridge, Atraxia and Creation Wines. The Hermanus wine route is located 90 minutes south of Cape Town right before Hermanus town.
Our first stop is the family owned Sumaridge Wine Estate. Their mountain vineyards offer a variety of different wines. From the common varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Rose to a blend of wines like Epotome and Maritimos. The estate offers tasting and dinning from 12pm to 3pm.
Next we visit Ataraxia for a tasting in their cool wine lounge. They built their wine lounge to look like a chapel. We tried Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and a delicious red blend that they are known for called Serenity.
Our last stop on the Hermanus wine route is Creation Wines, which has been awarded the clinque award which means they have the best food and wine pairing in South Africa. We tried some gazpacho, oysters and some more delicious bites.
Creation Wines creates a wide range of wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Pinot Noir and Syrah. They gave us a special tour of the cellar and let me try an aging Syrah my favorite.
The Hermans wine route features a total of 15 vineyards each with premium quality wines. This is a must visit if you are heading down to Hermanus from Cape Town.
We hope you enjoyed Wine Tasting Along the Hermanus Wine Route! Have you been to the Hermanus Wine Route? Leave a comment below!

The Hermanus Wine Route
The Hermanus Wine Route lies on the R320, which wends its way through the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Although superb whale watching made Hermanus world famous, its wines are as deserving of praise. The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley is protected from the cool sea breezes but benefits from plentiful rain and sunshine, making an ideal growing environment for the wine estates in the area, which include Bouchard Finlayson, Creation Wines and Ataraxia. We popped into two other estates – Southern Right and Russell Hamilton Vineyards – to chat to owner and winemaker Anthony Russell Hamilton about what makes this corner of the Garden Route so perfect for viticulture.
Hermanus Wine tasting in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley near Hermanus is the gateway to a circular route through the imposing Overberg Mountains. With a name meaning 'heaven and earth', the valley inspires lofty sentiments with its stunning scenery. Located at the lower reaches of the Onrus River, the valley is blessed with bounteous vineyards, heavy fruit orchards, velvety fynbos hillsides and imposing krantzes. A great destination for wine-lovers, Hemel-en-Aarde produces some of South Africa's award-winning wines.

Wine hopping in HERMANUS!
Hermanus (120km outside of Cape Town) is a perfect place to spend the weekend, with cliffside paths looking over the Atlantic Ocean, art galleries, restaurants, and most importantly – abundant wine tasting opportunities! Some of my favourite wines come from the Hemel en Arde Valley which lies just outside of town. The valley is famous for the quality of its chardonnays and pinot noirs in particular, as well as its spectacular steep sided and fynbos covered beauty.
The R320 road which cuts through the valley is a winding route, dotted with wine farms and tasting rooms, and so it makes sense to let someone else do the driving, which is why we opted for the hop on hop off Hermanus Wine Hoppers, which use a fleet of safari vehicles to transport passengers up and down the route, stopping pretty much hourly at most of the available venues.
We started our journey at Hermanuspietersfontein wines, which is basically still in Hermanus, and despite requiring almost no effort to get to, rewards with a variety of wines – I am particularly fond of the Kaalvoet Meisie, a single varietal Sauvignon blanc.
Next up we stopped at Bouchard Finlayson, a boutique winery with exceptional Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, we were lucky to taste the 2017 Tete de Cuvee which was made from only four barrels and showed fruit, spice and coffee on the palate.
Well wined by this pointed we opted for simply a glass of sparkling MCC at our next stop of Bosman Wines – the Loose Cannon was effervescent and drinkable, pleasantly dry and redolent of apple, peach and berries. Bosman has a beautiful tasting room with great views, and also provided us with an excellent array of pre-lunch snacks.
Next on the route was the beautiful Ataraxia, with its chapel-like tasting room and outstanding Chardonnays, the elevated section of the valley offering excellent growing conditions.
Our final stop was Creation Winery, which as well as making some good wines serves the best lunch in the valley – a five course tasting menu with paired wines (eight!) that included abalone starters, coconut poached line fish, both lamb and springbok, and a malva pudding to finish.
We had an amazing time in Hermanus, and I recommend anyone with an extra couple of days spare to check it out next time you are in Cape Town!

Creation Wines vineyard safari
Creation Wines have devised a 60 to 120-minute safari for visitors to experience the many charms of their farm on the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge near Hermanus.
Central to the safari are the vineyards, and guests are treated to in-depth descriptions of each of the varieties grown on the property, plus the opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine among the vines.
Creation's membership of the Biodiversity & Wine Initiative (BWI), and their undertaking to preserve the fynbos-rich natural environment through biodiversity and sustainability programmes, are also highlighted during the tour.
Bird watchers will have a field day spotting endemic species such as the African Crowned Eagle and Orange Breasted Sunbird.
Other safari highlights include a stroll through the olive grove (for those who are fit), a meander along the lake, a bird's-eye view over the farm from the hill above the lake, and the chance to view the rock formations of Babylons Toren Mountain rising up in the background.
The ramble culminates in a lunch cum wine-and-food pairing under The Big Tree among the vineyards.
