UNIQUE NEW TOURIST ROUTE
The brightest little gems in life are not always found on
the busy, well-known routes. Sometimes one has to take a
detour. A brand new tourist route has just been launched in
Oudtshoorn called the ART, CHEESE, CHOCOLATE and LIQUEUR
Route. It now gives visitors the opportunity to experience
something more than just the caves and ostriches.

ART
Just 5 kilometers outside Oudtshoorn, on a less frequently
travelled road you will come across the Jamstreet farm
where the MOOOI gallery is situated. Transforming an
abandoned dairy into a destination gallery takes guts,
creativity and bravery. MOOOI is the brainchild of owners
Danie du Plessis and Wim Rheeder. On display in the gallery
are paintings and sculptures by local, national and even
international artists. Where the cows once stood to be
milked there are now beautiful sculptures. Adjacent to the
gallery is a hip gift shop and they have just added a boutique
coffee shop. The MOOOI rock-shandy is the talk of the town
not to mention the delicious cakes they serve.
The farm also offers luxury self-catering accommodation
and has the first labyrinth in South Africa built with empty
wine bottles. The labyrinth is based on the Byzantine mosaic
floor of San Vitale in Ravenna. It is Italy’s most famous
church labyrinth, dating back to 530 BCE.

CHEESE
Tantinki is the market leader in South Africa when it comes
to goat milk cheese, yoghurt, ice cream, fudge and other
related products. They make a variety of 13 different cheeses
in 17 flavours. On their farm 130 Swiss Saanen goats ensure
that you only get the best milk possible.
A farm stall was recently opened in Oudtshoorn where all
the milk is processed. Sonja Ferreira is the driving force
behind this unique family business.

CHOCOLATE
Inspired by the decadent 18th century French period, la
chocolaterie ROCOCO defines the ultimate in chocolate
indulgence. Handcrafted from finely selected ingredients,
it’s a sinful delight that brings heaven one step closer.
Marita Lamprecht’s passion to work with chocolate was the
drive to establish Rococo. She received intensive training
in Belgium to become a chocolatier. Traditional Belgian
chocolates and the challenge to satisfy a chocolate lover’s
palette inspires Marita to create heavenly combinations not
to be found elsewhere. She only uses the best ingredients.
No preservatives are used which ensures that the final
product arrives fresh from her chocolaterie.
Rococo targets the hospitality industry but products are
also available from Marita’s chocolaterie in Oudtshoorn. Be
sure that Christmas, Valentines and Easter will be full of
surprises.

LIQUEUR
Just outside Oudtshoorn lie the vineyards of Sandkoppies,
home of Grundheim Wines, established in 1858. Five
generations have been farming here for more than a century.
The farm uses a historic wine cellar, more than 100 years
old. Grundheim is famous for its fermentation process in
open tanks. Everything still gets personal attention - from
bottling to labeling. Grundheim is famous for its witblits
made in a traditional brandy still. The label shows a bull
terrier - equally witblits has a bite and grip.
Grundheim produces unique products - muskadel, port,
home made liqueurs and potstill brandy. The many awards
salute the popular brand. You just cannot leave the Little
Karoo without a product or two. Elana, Ena and Dys are the
friendly hosts. Discover a treasure of taste at Grundheim.
