The Natal Midlands is slowly establishing itself as the second wine route of South Africa. There are a number of wine farms that have joined the Midlands Meander and offer wine tasting as a tourism experience. And the establishmnet of micro breweries is adding beer tasting to the list of attraction in the Natal Midlands too.

Wine Tasting in the Natal Midlands

They moved from Pietermaritzburg to the Midlands in 1999. They sell 75% of their wine on the export market, and the balance is distributed throughout KZN from their premises in Birnam Wood. The wine shop was opened last year.
  • The Wine Cellar - A piece of the Cape Wine Route on the Midlands Meander. Speciality wine and coffee shop, stocking a wide variety of wines, liqueurs, beers, coffees and cigars. Cheese platter/picnic basket by prior arrangement, to be enjoyed beside the river. B&B / Self-catering cottage is also available.
