The Bot River Area comprises awe-inspiring landscapes, a handful of wineries & deli's nestled in winding mountain passes. Clustered at the foot of the Houwhoek Pass, Bot River’s wine farms are the gateway to the Walker Bay wine-growing district, one of the Cape’s most sought-after wine growing regions because of its cool, maritime climate.
The area stretches from the Bot River lagoon up into the foothills of the Groenlandberg and Babylonstoren mountain ranges, and forms part of the agricultural transition zone of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, a 100 000-hectare UNESCO-registered biodiversity hotspot that is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom World Heritage Site.
Cooling breezes from the Bot River lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean offset the valley’s warm summers.
