Klein Constantia

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

Part of Simon van der Stel's original Constantia estate, Klein Constantia is famous for its Vin de Constance, a sweet muscat wine. It was Napoleon’s solace on St Helena; and in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, Mrs Jennings advocates ‘its healing powers on a disappointed heart’. There's a small bistro and excellent tasting room – be sure to sample the champagne-style sparkler.
