Walker Bay has a long and rich history of winemaking, dating back to the early 1800s.

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.
