Barrydale is a quaint little village located on the border of the Overberg and Klein Karoo regions of the Western Cape Province in South Africa. It can be reached from Cape Town by either the Garden Route (N2) via the scenic Tradouws Pass or the N1 including the famous wine route R62 via Montagu.Barrydale's history begins in the early 1700's when farmers moved into the area looking for fertile lands with water to farm.
As the farmers in the area were encouraged to plant vineyards and orchards it was natural that a winery and distillery would eventually be built. In 1940 the Barrydale Koöperative Wynkelder was formed and a distillery established giving rise to the wine industry in the area.
The winery has some first class wines for sale to the public and the Joseph Barry Brandy made on a local farm was voted the best brandy in the world in 2003. Over the years the village grew and eventually in 1921 a Municipality was established
