Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch, the second oldest European settlement at the Cape, forms the heart of the South African wine industry. Here you'll experience a unique blend of well-preserved Cape Dutch architecture and vibrant student life. The oak-lined Dorp Street, with its historic buildings, is a central hub for strolls. In the surroundings, numerous wineries, such as Spier or Delaire Graff, invite you for tastings and tours. Also visit the University's Botanical Garden or the Rupert Museum for cultural enrichment. For a comprehensive exploration of the wine region, a guided bicycle tour through the vineyards is recommended. The months of March to May or September to November offer optimal weather for visits.
