In the late 19th century, the region was further developed by the Dutch settlers, who brought with them their own winemaking techniques and traditions.
Today, Walker Bay is one of South Africa's most important wine regions, with over 200 wineries and vineyards. The region is renowned for its cool climate and unique terroir, which produces some of the country's most acclaimed Burgundian-styled Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.CUSTOMER RATING
