Cape Winelands
Stellenbosch
The heart of wine country
Oak-lined streets, Cape Dutch architecture and estates set against the mountains.
Stellenbosch sits in a valley ringed by mountains. Its streets are lined with Cape Dutch buildings, boutiques, galleries and cafés.
Taste at renowned estates where every glass speaks of tradition and terroir — then go beyond the vineyards with hikes, mountain-bike trails and picnics among the vines.
Museums, markets and historic landmarks tell the story of one of the oldest towns in the country.
