Simondium Guild
Based in a converted old wine cellar, this complex between Franschhoek and Paarl can occupy a whole family for the afternoon. There's an award-winning craft brewery here, specializing in unique, barrel-aged beers, some fermented with yeast harvested from surrounding fynbos. It's also home to the tasting room of Painted Wolf Wines, best known for their spicy Shiraz, and Stillman Distillery, who make great gin. For kids and artsy types, you can design and paint a glass bowl at Fanglasstic, or just shop for some of their beautifully etched glassware. Papi's Eatery provides sustenance after all the beer, wine, and gin, with hearty burgers, smoked meats, and excellent milkshakes.
