6 Food & Drink in Northern Cape That You Shouldn't Miss

September 22, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

The Northern Cape (Afrikaans: Noord-Kaap; Tswana: Kapa Bokone) is the largest and most sparsely populated province of South Africa. It was created in 1994 when the Cape Province was split up. Its capital is Kimberley. It includes the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, an international park shared with Botswana. It also includes the Augrabies Falls and the diamond mining regions in Kimberley and Alexander Bay. The Namaqualand region in the west is famous for its Namaqualand daisies. The southern towns of De Aar and Colesberg, in the Great Karoo, are major transport nodes between Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. In the northeast, Kuruman is known as a mission station and also for its artesian spring, the Eye of Kuruman. The Orange River flows through the province, forming the borders with the Free State in the southeast and with Namibia to the northwest. The river is also used to irrigate the many vineyards in the arid region near Upington.

In the middle of December you need to stop at places that have excellent aircons. And Bezalel surely has. The wine tasting was great - we learnt a lot about the wines of the Northern Cape. And lunch was to die for. Try their special house burgers, you won't regret it!

Orange River Cellars

The head-office of Orange River Cellars is located in Upington, a town in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The wine grapes of Orange River Cellars originate from ±850 producers all along the Orange River, also known as the Great Gariep River. These pockets of vineyard land stretch over a distance of more than 300 kilometres between Groblershoop and Blouputs. The terroir (geophysical and micro-climatical) diversity of this unequalled thirstland, translates into the production of cultivar and blended wines of inimitable variation insofar as aromatic and taste are concerned. Orange River Cellars offers an extensive range of dry white, natural sweet and dry red, as well as dessert wines. Visit our Tasting Centre in Upington today!!
