Turn right as you leave the estate and you’re heading to Franschhoek (French Corner). Known as the Gourmet Capital of South Africa, Franschhoek has attracted some of South Africa’s top chefs to the area, and established a foodie scene in this quaint village and valley that many cities would be hard-pressed to equal. The village is full of arts, crafts and antique shops, museums and galleries.

Stellenbosch, a University Town, in the other direction down the Pass, is rich in rewarding activities, interesting features and leisure attractions. It abounds in quality galleries and museums, magnificent historical and contemporary architecture, and a host of cultural and leisure activity options – from the extreme to the refined.

Situated between these two tourist magnets, Delaire Graff Estate is the perfect launch pad for your choice of nearby activities:

* Golf: There are a number of superb golf courses in the area, including a Jack Nicklaus signature course
