Protected from the fierce South Easterly winds, Tulbagh enjoys moderate to hot summers and cool, rainy winters with snow on the mountain tops. Due to the fertile soils and abundance of natural water, the Tulbagh valley offers prime agricultural land and a historic town with its famous Cape Dutch architecture. With magnificent nature reserves and all the unique restaurants tucked away on farms in the valley, Tulbagh is an extremely popular tourist destination all year round.
