Explore the Western Cape’s floral kingdom
A great spring kind of thing to do - once the rain has finally stopped - is to take a trip along the Green Mountain Eco Route. It calls itself the world’s first biodiversity wine route. And it incorporates the area around the Groenland Mountain with the villages Bot River, Elgin Valley Grabouw, Houw Hoek and Villiersdorp which is nestled in the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom. It’s only an hour from Cape Town, which makes it a great weekend getaway. 
The Route’s attractions include wine farms, activities, events, accommodations, restaurants, wedding & conference venues. It offers scenic beauty, natural diversity of terroir and a wide range of wine styles. There is something to do for everyone; crank uphill on your mountain bike, hike through acres of fynbos, experience a unique wine tasting with the winemakers, or enjoy meals made from locally grown produce.
