The Alpaca Loom is a bucolic farm experience tucked into the rolling countryside between Paarl and Wellington, where the focus is as much on interaction and discovery as it is on stunning Winelands views. Visitors are welcomed into a lively setting where a growing herd of more than 300 alpacas graze freely, greeting guests with their gentle demeanour and soft fleece. The farm’s petting area lets you meet these expressive animals up close, and guided Alpaca Barn Tours - offered daily every hour — bring to life the fascinating world of alpaca care and fibre production.
Beyond animal encounters, The Alpaca Loom celebrates traditional craftsmanship. Its on‑site weaving studio showcases how fleece from their own herd is transformed into luxurious textiles, from scarves and shawls to blankets in a beautiful range of natural colours. Watching weavers at work adds an artisanal thread to your visit, making it feel like an immersive cultural experience as much as a farm outing. Meanwhile, the coffee shop offers a relaxed place to enjoy freshly brewed beverages and homemade treats while gazing across the fields to Table Mountain on clear days.
For those seeking a bit more adventure, you can even book a guided Alpaca Walk - a peaceful stroll around the farm accompanied by one of these charming animals, suitable for families and solo travellers alike. Nestled amidst vineyards and open skies, The Alpaca Loom offers a refreshingly different taste of the Cape Winelands, blending nature, craft and local hospitality into one memorable stop on your itinerary.
