6-Day Cape Camino: Wine Lands (8-14 Mar 2026)
"I learned that, to make the experience a good one, you need to be open and leave room for the unexpected. You need to see the chances that come along with every day, every place and every person. You will be surprised by all the gifts and opportunities along the way! But not only that, you will become a blessing to others as well.To me, it was a journey that is all about giving and receiving. It made me a little bit more humble again." Miriam Roch

Camino Itinerary
Wine Valley
Day 0, 8 Mar: Arrival at Goedgedacht
A unique and special place located in the mountain slopes of the Riebeek Valley. A sacred space for those who choose to see it that way, with a chapel onsite.
Meet fellow pilgrims and settle in. Arrive anytime after 4pm and before dark.
Day 1, 9 Mar: Goedgedacht to Dassenheuwel Farm Stay (14km)
Today's route is mostly on bush paths with magnificent views. It is essential to wear long pants to prevent being scratched by sharp bushes.
Day 2, 10 Mar: Dassenheuwel ➝ Hermon (9/16km)
You have two options today. The first is 9km and the second is 16km.
You end the day on the banks of the Berg River in Hermon. The peaceful surroundings and beautiful views of the Berg River promise to make your stay an experience to remember.
Day 3, 11 Mar: Hermon ➝ Riebeek Kasteel (18km)
Today is 14km through local farms. Either pomegranate or plumbs, depending on the time of year. You arrive in Riebeek Kasteel, a charming town where agriculture meets modern flair. We utilise many rest houses in Riebeek Kasteel. They are all nearby local eateries and galleries.
Day 4, 12 Mar: Riebeek Kasteel ➝ Gouda (22km)
Today is 14km through local farms. Either pomegranate or plumbs, depending on the time of year. You arrive in Riebeek Kasteel, a charming town where agriculture meets modern flair. We utilise many rest houses in Riebeek Kasteel. They are all nearby local eateries and galleries.
Day 5, 13 Mar: Gouda ➝ Tulbagh (16km)
Today’s walk takes you through wide agricultural lands, crossing the Berg River at Zonquasdrift. The village of Gouda was founded in the early 1800’s. It is named after the Dutch city of Gouda, probably because of a Dutch immigrant settling here.
We use three rest houses in Gouda:
1.Die Workshop - a quirky rest house filled with motorbikes and the easy going warmth of the Smuts family, who own the local butchery. So meaty dishes are on the menu (they do have an option for vegetarian).
2. Stoepstories – A home stay in the village with friendly hosts and dogs.
3. Gouda Hotel – A real, old fashion establishment, with a pub and a few rooms.
Day 6, 14 Mar: Tulbagh ➝ Oudekloof Wine Estate (5km)
You can choose your distance today. There are many options in and around the town; Cape Dutch architecture, quiet lanes and much to explore. Ask Carol your host for a map. Nestled amidst breathtaking panoramic views of the Tulbagh Valley, lies Oudekloof Wine Estate. Steeped in history, the estate, and its neighbouring mountain pass, were once a vital gateway for early settlers venturing into the fertile valley.
