Explore Constantia Upper

Nestled beneath Table Mountain National Park, with commanding vistas of the Constantiaberg and Table Mountain ranges lies Constantia. An exclusive neighbourhood with unmatched beauty, Constantia is an established suburb and the oldest wine-producing region in the southern hemisphere.

The area dates back to 1685 when Simon van der Stel acquired 760 hectares of land which was either named after the VOC ship "Constantia" or after commissioner Rijckloff van Goen's daughter Constanza.

From 1777, Constantia became a favourite amongst European nobility including Prussian emperor Frederick the Great, Louis XVI, and Mary Antoinette whose cellars contained hundreds to thousands of original Constantia wines. One of the greatest writers in the English language, Jane Austen also makes mention of Constantia in her first published novel "Sense and Sensibility, recommending a little Constantia "for its healing powers on a disappointed heart."

From the picturesque mountain ranges and lush greenbelts to the eight award-winning wine estates and various acclaimed restaurants, today the appeal of the Constantia Valley offers something for everyone. Only 30 minutes drive from Cape Town International Airport and 20 minutes from the V & A Waterfront, Constantia Valley truly is CapeTowns' vineyard.

Besides sought-after and luxurious family homes, the scenic area boasts country estates, guest houses, and villas that appeal to both discerning locals and internationals.

Shopping is easy and varied at both Constantia Village and High Constantia centres with everything from supermarkets and delis, to upmarket boutiques and chic décor shops. Schooling is convenient with Constantia Waldorf, Reddam House and Herzlia Primary on offer, as well as easy access to other prestigious Southern Suburbs schools in neighbouring suburbs.

Constantia remains closely connected to its history as a rural agricultural area and has simply evolved over the decades to ensure that the conveniences and luxuries of life are not too far from reach.
