The Paarl Wine Route is home to a striking collection of award-winning wine farms. The historic winelands town of Paarl offers a delectable wine route for visitors enjoying a luxury South Africa tour in the Cape region. The name is derived from the Dutch word for ‘pearl’, a fitting description of this beautifully quaint setting. The town is distinguished by the imposing smooth facade of Paarl Rock and the sky-reaching fingers of the Afrikaanse Taalmonument, the "Afrikaans language monument".
