The fruit growing region of Ceres is nestled in the Breede Valley, through the foothills of the Hex River Mountains. Ceres is just about an hour outside of Cape Town and the ideal road trip for the entire family. The blankets of snow covering the mountainous area are breathtaking and visitors get to experience the snow first hand. Sitting in the car is forbidden and making snowmen is a mandatory activity in the area, especially in Winter.
