A unique taste blended from the fruits of the valley. Everson’s Cider is fast becoming a favourite at festival and outdoor events – the cider is perfect for easy drinking and the mulled cider can even be enjoyed warm.

Heading up the Houw Hoek Pass on your way to Caledon or Hermanus, you’ll spot a bustling shop nestled into the hills on your right. This is the Houw Hoek Farm Stall and Coffee Shop. The Farm Stall stocks a broad variety of local produce from teas to honey to freshly baked goods to local wines. Next door you’ll find the Coffee Shop where you can enjoy a light meal or steaming cup of coffee inside or out on the veranda under the shade of the oak trees. Be sure to stop by on your way into the Overberg or on your way back to Cape Town.
Along with a number of excellent wine estates and cider houses, Grabouw/Elgin is also home to a brandy distillery, the Oude Molen Distillery.

Visit the Distillery for the full story and to taste the brandy that has been perfected over more than a century.
