Paarl – An Introduction The scenic beauty of Paarl invites visitors to discover the many cultural and historical attractions of the Drakenstein Valley, along with some of the most abundant nature reserves in the surrounding mountains. Paarl takes its name from the huge granite outcrop that rises proudly on the crest of Paarl Mountain. Founded in 1687, it is the third-oldest settlement in South Africa and boasts a rich cultural and historical heritage. The birth of Afrikaans, the world’s youngest language, is celebrated by the iconic Afrikaans Language Monument, which stands prominently on the southern slopes of Paarl Mountain. The town showcases many fine examples of Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Cape Dutch architecture, sharing space with a wide variety of excellent restaurants and coffee shops spread out along its twelve-kilometre-long Main Street. Just outside Paarl lies Drakenstein Prison, where Nelson Mandela spent his final years of imprisonment and from which he completed his “long walk to freedom.” Paarl offers genuine country hospitality, award-winning wine farms and estates, and a wide range of accommodation options to suit both your needs and your budget. The town provides excellent conference facilities and some of the most idyllic wedding venues in the Cape Winelands. Enjoy beautiful fynbos-rich walks and hiking trails, ride along superb mountain-biking routes, or take a leisurely drive through the countryside to soak up the spectacular scenery, followed by a relaxed lunch and fine wines from the region. We look forward to welcoming you to Paarl – the Pearl of the Winelands!
