Paarl

View all Paarl tours

Paarl lies in a Cape Winelands valley between the second-largest granite outcrop in the world (which is said to glow like a pearl at sunrise), the towering Du Toit's Kloof Mountains and the Drakenstein Mountains.

Its scenic beauty of mountains, rivers, flowers, and open spaces together with its architectural heritage attracts visitors from around the world.

Paarl is quieter than other, better known, Wineland's towns such as Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, but is home to many notable wine estates, good restaurants and luxury Paarl accommodation.

Along the 6km main street is the attractive headquarters of the largest wine co-operative in the world; the KWV, responsible for marketing South African wine internationally, as well as antique shops, boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops.
