Grabouw, Western Cape, South Africa
The directions to Grabouw will lead you through the Overberg to a town that is lazily spread along the N2 near Sir Lowry's Pass. Located near the Palmiet River in the fertile Elgin Valley, Grabouw is surrounded by the Hottentots Holland and Groenland mountains to the north, and the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve to the south.
Grabouw is well-known for its cultivation of apples and is notably the ‘birthplace’ of South Africa’s most famous fizzy apple soft drink. This agricultural region is responsible for a large percentage of the country’s apple exports as well as the cultivation of pears, plums and other deciduous fruit. More recently, the town has gained a name for its viticulture and the area boasts thriving wine farms and is popular with tourists and day-trippers looking for things to do in Grabouw.
Visitors are in for a treat because Grabouw has something to offer the whole family. A fun 8-hole mashie golf course, an adventure park, hiking trails, quad bike routes, canopy tours and an apple museum are just a few things the area has to offer.
