Surprises for you on the Route 62

No longer getting your kicks on Route 66? Then why not enjoy the unexpected pleasures of the Winelands, Breede River Valley and Klein Karoo along the Route 62, the longest wine route in the world!

Route 62 is a traveller’s route, which meanders between Cape Town, Oudtshoorn, the Garden Route and Port Elizabeth, offering the shorter, better alternative to the N2 highway.

Route 62 prompts associations with the legendary by-way, Route 66, connecting the urban and rural communities between Chicago and Los Angeles. In the same manner, Route 62 links Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. This scenic route passes through farming towns of Calitzdorp and Ladysmith, historic Amalienstein and Zoar, and the fruit growing towns of Barrydale, Montagu, Ashton, Bonnievale, Robertson, McGregor, Worcester, Ceres, Wolseley, Tulbagh, Paarl and Wellington.

After being in hibernation for 40 years, Route 62 is now being revived. Route 62, the longest wine route in the world, includes the wine cellars and estates of the Paarl, Wellington, Tulbagh, Worcester, Robertson and Klein Karoo Wine Routes. (Route 62 also offers a wide variety of conferencing and incentive experiences, from 5-star conference facilities, to more "African" conferencing and team building)

You will soon discover that Route 62 offers the visitor an experience, whether this is a physical sense, or simply a kaleidoscope of scenic experiences. All who have travelled here agree that few places in the world are as stunningly beautiful as the Route 62.
