About this app

Wine Passport is a record of every wine farm you've been to in Southern Africa, and a guide to the ones you haven't got to yet.

There are 300+ wine farms on the map, across all nine of South Africa's provinces. The Cape Winelands are all there: Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl, Constantia, Walker Bay, Robertson, Wellington, Durbanville, Breedekloof, Tulbagh and the Swartland. So are the Klein Karoo and Garden Route, Cape Agulhas and Elim, the Cederberg and Olifants River, and the Orange River cellars of the Green Kalahari. Further afield you'll find farms in KwaZulu-Natal, the Drakensberg, the Free State, the Eastern Cape, Johannesburg and Limpopo's Loskop Valley, plus a few over the border: Lesotho's only winery, one of the last vineyards from Zimbabwe's old wine country, and Namibia's small wine trail around Omaruru. Every farm comes with a short write-up of what makes it worth the drive, be it the view, the history or the food.

FIND YOUR WAY
Browse the map, tap a farm to see what it's known for, when it's open and what it offers, and get directions straight to the cellar door. Every pin has been checked by hand so it lands at the gate, not in the middle of the vineyard.

STAMP YOUR PASSPORT
Mark a farm visited and its stamp lands in your passport, dated the day you were there. Every farm gets its own stamp. See how far you've got in each region, and share a visit when you're chuffed with it.

PLAN A DAY OUT WITH PRO
Pro is a once-off purchase, not a subscription. Line up a few farms, see the drive between each one, and spot what else is worth a stop nearby. Pro also unlocks the map filters, so you can find the farms that welcome dogs, do a proper lunch or have somewhere for the kids to play, plus an unlimited wishlist.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
There's nothing to sign up for. Your passport stays on your phone.

Hours and facilities change with the seasons, so give the farm a call before you drive out.
