Constantia

Constantia is wine country with historic estates and good restaurants in vineyard settings. Safe for daytime wine tasting and lunch, but you need Uber to get around and nothing happens here at night.

Constantia is Cape Town's wine area - a valley of wine estates about 15km south of the city center, surrounded by vineyards and mountains. South Africa's oldest wine-producing region from 1685. Groot Constantia, Steenberg, Beau Constantia, and Klein Constantia do wine tastings with views. The estate restaurants serve farm-to-table food in nice settings, good for long solo lunches. Staff speak English and deal with international visitors regularly. The area is wealthy, residential, and feels safe during the day - families and tourists exploring the estates. You need Uber or a car to get around since the estates are spread out and nothing is walkable. Most people visit for daytime tastings and lunch, then head back to wherever they're staying. Not a neighborhood for nightlife or walking - it's a day trip destination. Since you're drinking wine, you'll need Uber to get back to the city. Estates close by early evening and residential streets are empty after dark.
