Guided experiences that bring Tulbagh to life
From guided walks through history to full-day wine and chocolate tastings, the Cape Dutch Quarters offers a variety of tours that bring Tulbagh’s stories and landscapes to life. Whether you’re exploring the museums of Church Street, joining a heritage walking route, or sampling local flavours, our tours are designed to give you a deeper connection to the valley.
The garden is surrounded on two sides by magnificent Cape Dutch houses and thus the garden is designed to highlight the historic views and emphases the traditional agricultural atmosphere of the area. The garden was designed for us by renowned gardener Bridget Kipley. In July 2014, we started laying out a formal ornamental Kitchen garden, but things only really got going in April 2015 when we finished repairing the water reservoir and turned on the irrigation.
Open to visitors seven days a week from sunrise to sunset, the gardens have become an additional tourist attraction in Tulbagh. In addition to its educational benefits, we now grow around 40 types of fruit, vegetable and herbs that we supply to both Tulbagh residents and local restaurants. The garden aims to grow beautiful produce year round to the benefit of our partners, founders, workers, volunteers and community. Visitors can orders seasonal produce in the garden or at Cape Dutch Quarters’ reception.
Full and half day tours available

The tour takes you on a loop to the end of Church Street and back along the main road, stopping in all four museums along the way. The tour covers the Dutch and British occupation and demonstrated how an appreciation for Cape Dutch architecture, in an environment of growing South African nationalism, ensured that this wonderful street was restored after the earthquake of 1969.
