Paarl Wine Route

Paarl Vintners invites you to explore the world's first 'Red Route'.

As the Paarl region's umbrella association of wine producers, Vintners has embraced Paarl's territorial heritage as one of the most globally prolific sources of fine red wine and has charted a route through which explorers may discover both the delicate secrets and bold celebrities of these historic winelands.

It is true that great 'Red Route' legends such as Roodeberg, stalwart Cabernet Sauvignon, port and a determined focus on Shiraz have long established Paarl's place on the global wine map. Even more exciting is the fact that the Paarl region has again captured the international spotlight with this year's crowning of both a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Shiraz as the World's Best Wines as well as securing the award of Winemaker of the Year at Vin Expo 2001.

Perfect micro-climates, ideal soils and a firm red tradition - a medley of blessing, bounty and bold commitment - these are the essential and unique ingredients that have afforded the Paarl region the inalienable and singular claim to being the birthplace of the world's very first 'Red Route'.
