Fairview Wine and Cheese
Fairview
A family wine estate at the foot of Paarl Mountain, famous for wine tastings paired with its own goat's cheese and the iconic 'Goat Tower'.
Fairview lies on the southwest slope of Paarl Mountain and is run by the Back family. It is known for tastings that pair wine with cheese: you can sample several wines alongside more than 20 varieties of cheese made from the estate's goat's and cow's milk. At the entrance, a spiral 'Goat Tower' houses a herd of goats, a favourite photo spot for children, and the estate's Goats do Roam wine range takes its name from them. There is also the Goatshed restaurant and deli. It gets busy at weekends, so you may want to book tastings online in advance. It is about a 10-minute drive from the Afrikaans Language Monument.
