The Wine hopper takes you up in the Hemel and Aarde Valley where we have some of the most well known wine farms all along one road. The Wine hopper starts in town and goes back and forth between the wine farms and town - so you can hop on and hop off wherever you want. Famous wine farms are Hamilton Russel, Bouchard Finlayson, Southern Right, La Vierge, Bosman, Newton Johnson, Sumaridge, Ataraxia, Creation, Domaine des Dieu, etc - a real feast of some of SA's best wines.

This new mall opened two years ago. It has one of the newly designed Checkers and a WW is also in the mall. this makes travelling for the essentials a little easier. Still prefer the WW in town though.
