Klein Constantia is one of the Cape’s most historic wine estates, and its success is underpinned by a wine once greatly favoured by the nobility of Europe. It’s an enduring legacy, and Klein Constantia’s famous Vin de Constance will surely continue to inspire and delight for many more generations. But more about this iconic sweet wine, nicknamed “Napoleon’s wine” by some, a little later. Klein Constantia makes for an ideal visit if your time in the Cape is limited, as it is situated in the lush slice of heaven that is Constantia, just 20km from the city centre.
