Things to do
Being a member of Worcester Tourism Council we form part of the evolving tourism industry and wish to include the following introduction to what this beautiful area has got to offer.
The town is situated in the largest wine producing area of the country, and is subsequently the largest employer. It is surrounded by wine and table grape farms which create employment opportunities for much of the population. Worcester is the main economic and service center of the Breede Valley Region. Being so centrally situated, an hour from Cape Town, Hermanus, Montagu and Touwsriver, and even less from Paarl, Tulbagh and Ceres, Worcester is a central hub for industry, shopping and tourism.
For the golf enthusiasts Worcester Golf Club also offers an 18 hole Gary Player designed golf course for an unique golfing experience where the player is surrounded by magnificent mountain ranges and beautiful scenery.
Experience the Big 5... Explore the 154ha display of fauna and flora from the arid winter rainfall regions of Southern Africa in the Karoo Desert National Botanical Gardens (accessible to the physically challenged) or feel a touch of history at Worcester Museum - the only living display museum, depicting early agricultural practices between the early 1800's and mid -1940's. All year round activities show visitors how the pioneers used to live. A magical ambience awaits the fine art lover at The Hugo Naudé House and Jean Weltz Art Gallery. KWV House of Brandy hides the biggest copper distill kettles of its kind and the product is also tasty. Then last, but not least is the taste that lingers longer...
Worcester Wine Route has 10 superb Cellars, waiting for your visit.
Worcester has so much to offer! Leave the busy city life behind and visit the peaceful Breede Valley! Enjoy life as it should be lived and you might stay forever!
