Area Info:

The little hamlet of Simondium lies at the upper point of a triangle with Stellenbosch and Franschhoek on the R45. Simondium has fast earned a reputation of its own, particularly with regard to cheese. The annual South African Cheese Festival, which has taken place on the rustic Bien Donné farm in Simondium in April, is now a major culinary event with people turning up in their droves to sample champion cheeses and wine. Simondium is also on the Western Cape Brandy Route, introduced in 1997, 325 years after the first brandy was distilled in South Africa.
