Paarl Print
The wine tradition in Paarl is older than the roots of the aging Oak Trees that line its Cape Dutch streets. The first European settlers arrived at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652, planting the seeds that solidified the Cape 's reputation as a wine growing heaven. Paarl is the home to many award-winning wines and to the KWV: the largest exporter of local wines, famous for the acoustical Cathedral Cellar and the five largest vats in the world under one roof.

 

Nederburg hosts the Nederburg Wine Auction in April, whilst the Nouveau Wine Festival on Paarl Mountain is hosted by the Paarl Vintners - a group of 30 wine farmers in the district who have formed an impressive organisation to improve quality and marketing of Paarl wines. Paarl boasts two brandy producers: Paarl Rock Brandy Cellar and Backsberg, who have been incorporated on the Brandy route.
