Hermanus is now home to a new wine route named "Hermanus Wine Route R320" that runs along the R320, with 15 wine producers on the 20km route.
The R320, a regional road that connects Hermanus with nearby Caledon in the Overberg region, is leading wine lovers to the tasting rooms of estates in the aptly named Hemel en Aarde (Afrikaans for "heaven and earth") Valley.
Between wine tasting and whale watching, locals and tourists can also participate in a range of activities which include walking and hiking in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve and its fynbos covered mountains, as well as fishing in the Walker Bay or shark cage diving in nearby Gansbaai.

To mark the re-launch, wine producers along the new wine route have collaborated in the production of a special red blend also known as (Hermanus Wine Route) R320, sales of which will go towards a charity registered to give educational assistance to pupils in the Hermanus area.
Bottles of the (Hermanus Wine Route) R320 red blend are available from restaurants and retail outlets in the area, and each costs about R100.

Hermanus promotional video
The town of Hermanus, situated on the shores of the Walker Bay about 120km from Cape Town, is known as the best land based whale watching spot in the world. But the town offers more than just whale watching - Hermanus is also known for its long stretches of beach, the mild climate, the rich floral kingdom and its friendly environment. That is at least what the promotional video about Hermanus below is telling its viewers.
But to make it clear - Hermanus is defo worth a stop on your way from or to Cape Town. It is a pretty relaxed town with perfect shore-based whale watching between June and November, nice beaches as well as loads of accommodation establishments and restaurants. And Hermanus also offers you an easy access to the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, which is part of the smallest but richest floral kingdom in the world, the Cape Floral Kingdom. Enjoy Hermanus!
