The Stellenbosch Wine Route is probably the country’s most famous and Stellenbosch is considered the heart of South Africa’s wine industry. Spend a day tasting wine, buying and talking wine and you’ll taste the South African way of life.

The beautiful Stellenbosch is steeped in tradition with its venerable old buildings, oak-lined street and the University of Stellenbosch where modern student life meets old history. The town offers world-class sports facilities (rugby, cricket and soccer) and a host of outdoor activities, from mountain bike routes to great golf courses.

Accommodation ranges from 5 star resorts and guest houses to wine farm accommodation to affordable self-catering homes and apartments.
