Mossel Bay is a harbour town of about 130,000 people on the Southern Cape (or Garden Route) of South Africa. It is an important tourism and farming region of the Western Cape Province. Mossel Bay lies 400 kilometres east of the country's seat of parliament, Cape Town (which is also the capital city of the Western Cape Province), and 400 km west of Port Elizabeth, the largest city in the Eastern Cape Province. The older parts of the town occupy the north-facing side of the Cape St Blaize Peninsula, whilst the newer suburbs straddle the Peninsula and have spread eastwards along the sandy shore of the Bay.

We visited ReedValley in December 2019 for wine tasting. Francois de Jager was our wine tasting host, with his in depth knowledge of the farm, it's history, the wines that are produced there and great hosting skills he really made it an unforgettable experience. We also enjoyed the rest of the activities available on the farm and can definately recommed a visit to ReedValley when visiting Mossel Bay and surroundings

We enjoyed visiting this museum with our family. There is a variety to see and the museum is very well maintained. The history and information on marine life was very interesting and well preserved. The life size replica of the ship is awesome to see and to learn more about SA’s history. There is so much to see and do and entrance was only R40 pp. We recommend this activity!

Jakkalsvlei is the only local winery in the Mossel Bay area and is hidden in the hills close to Herbertsdale, a small settlement about 50km northwest of Mossel Bay. They offer wine tasting , both normal and pairings, and lunch. I recommend their pizza, which is the best I’ve ever had. A real hidden gem!
