Heaven & Earth

The Hermanus Wine Route R320

The famous Hermanus Wine Route meanders through the valleys and seasonsal coloured vineyards of the R320. When looking to go wine tasting in the Overberg,  award winning wineries in the internationally known Hemel en Aarde Valley offers a collection of wines to suit every wine lover’s palate.

The Hermanus Wine Route R320, also known as the Hemel-en-Aarde Wine Route (Heaven & Earth Wine Route) is made up the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley and Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge wards of the Hermanus area.

Because of the cool see breezes, nearby ocean and rich mineral soils the wine estates firmly planted along the Hermanus Wine Route are producing some of the most exceptional wines in the world. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are all typically finicky vines but here in the Hemel en Aarde Valley they thrive.

Wine lovers and visitors to the area will be inspired and captivated by the picturesque sea and mountain views that many of the wine estates offer. Fynbos covered mountains and sweeping views of the Hemel en Aarde Valley guarantee explorers a memorable experience, what better way than to celebrate with a brilliantly crafted glass of wine!
