3About Paarl
Paarl's about an hour from Cape Town up the N1, tucked below Paarl Mountain's granite domes with the Drakenstein range behind it. It's proper winelands country, with the R44 from Stellenbosch a favourite scenic route and Wellington just a quick 18 km hop up the R301 for locals. Weekenders often push on to Robertson or Montagu along Route 62. Over ten fast EV chargers make it an easy stop. Fun fact: KWV's brandy cellar here is the biggest in the world.
