The Western Cape has a wealth of vineyards, many of which are currently undergoing a revival, which produce some of South Africa's finest wines and welcome visitors for wine tasting. Some of the attractions in the South West Cape include: the Robertson Wine Route, Montagu (with its hot mineral springs), the Breede River, Bontebok Park, Cape Agulhas and the De Hoop Nature Reserve (offering exceptional whale-watching in season).
