Tulbagh

A small historical town in the Western Cape winelands, Tulbagh rests within a lush valley surrounded by the peaks of several mountain ranges, the slopes of which are blanketed with indigenous buchu, proteas and wildflowers. Tulbagh is home to the highest concentration of national monuments anywhere in South Africa, with over 30 historical buildings clustered around the old church. A number of esteemed wine farms are located in the valley and offer wine tastings and tours, including Twee Jonge Gezellen and Drostdyhof.
