Calitzdorp
Calitzdorp calls itself the Port Wine Capital of South Africa, a claim backed by multiple award-winning port wines produced in the vineyards surrounding this small Klein Karoo town in the Western Cape. Fruit farming and winemaking drive the local economy, and the town sits on Route 62, the scenic road that links the region. A small central core offers cafés and restaurants for travellers passing through.
