Summary[edit]

Description

This is a vineyard of Groot Contstantia. The story of Groot Constantia, the finest surviving example of Cape Dutch architecture and one of South Africa’s foremost historical monuments and tourist attractions, goes back to 1685. The first owner was Simon van der Stel. He arrives in Table Bay as Commander of the Cape in 1679. Groot Constantia was sold to the Cape Government for £5 275 at a public auction in 1885. They still own it today.
