Yes, you can do the Winelands in an afternoon—they’re only an hour from Cape Town. But with a chic new hotel and several upstart restaurants, it’s worth staying a night or two. And did we mention the wine?Getting ThereIf you hit the road first thing, heading east from Cape Town on the N2, you’ll land in the tony burg of Stellenbosch 45 minutes later—just in time for breakfast (the brioche French toast with apples and brie at the Schoon de Companje is stellar). Get on the scenic Helshoogte Pass and in about a half hour you’ll arrive in Fransch­hoek, one of the country’s oldest towns and the center of its wine region.Home BaseWith its thatched roof, whitewashed walls, and ornate gables, the new 12-room Leeu House is right at home in a historic town known for its Cape Dutch architecture. Interiors balance out this old-world vibe, pulling from contemporary South African design: latticed partitions fashioned from tea-dyed kudu leather; splashy canvases by renowned artist Lionel Smit.

More important, most of the wineries and restaurants you’ll want to visit are less than 15 miles away.Where to TasteTwo can’t-miss wineries are Tokara (try the sauvignon blanc) and Delaire Graff Estate (get the cab franc rosé); both are set against the Hottentots Holland Mountains. Nearby, the beloved farm/winery/hotel Babylon­storen has added nine suites in a gabled farmhouse as well as a sleek tasting room where you can sample Sprankel, the estate’s new sparkling chardonnay. This June, Leeu Collection will open Leeu Estates, a winery, hotel, and spa on 170 acres outside Franschhoek.Refuel between sipsNewcomers to Fransch­hoek include the Tuk Tuk Microbrewery and taqueria, the soon-to-open Marigold for Indian food, and Orangerie for Gallic-inspired dishes like duck-liver parfait with apple chutney or chicken supreme stuffed with tarragon chicken mousse. In Stellenbosch, chef PJ Vadas bakes fresh challah, vinschgauer, and vollkorn breads at five-month-old Hoghouse Bakery and Café, while the new food hall De Warenmarkt is the place to grab local charcuterie and cheeses.
