Solms-Delta Wine Estate

It’s not all food and drink in the Winelands. Outside Franschhoek, this estate plays on the region’s remarkable past. Attached to restaurant Fyndraai—whose glass floor is built over an archaeological site, the estate’s original cellar, from 1740—is a museum recounting the history of the indigenous Khoisan people, the rugged Dutch and French settlers of the 1600s, and the East Indies slaves from the 1700s. You’ll learn more about South African history here in an hour than you will in a year of news reports.
