Ashton

Ashton | Breede River Valley

The little village of Ashton in the Western Cape lies in the Robertson Wine Valley, at the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains.

It is also ideally situated on the longest wine route in the world known as Route 62 - a shorter, scenic alternative to the N2 highway and stretching all the way from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth.

The harsh weather conditions, including hot, dry days and cold nights, create the perfect conditions for farmers in Ashton to produce some of the world’s finest wines.

If you are looking to buy property here, you will also be introduced to the town’s two large fruit canneries and numerous rose nurseries.

Residential areas in Ashton were originally used to house the employees of a large factory co-operative producing canned fruits, jams and vegetables. Today, this popular destination offers residents and visitors beautiful landscapes of towering cliffs, meandering streams, vineyards, orchards and a profusion of trees and indigenous flora.
