Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch – town of wines and Cape cool

Stellenbosch, a cornerstone of South Africa’s Western Cape, is much more than its oak-lined streets and Cape Dutch façades. The heart of the Cape Winelands, this town is a hub for forward-thinking winemakers, cool wine bars and farm shops that locals frequent, far from the typical tourist paths. The university injects a youthful, edgy vibe into a town steeped in history, creating a fusion of heritage and modern innovation. For travellers with discerning taste or locals eager to rediscover Stellenbosch, it’s where classic Cape charm collides with contemporary cool – all against the stunning backdrop of South Africa’s premier wine region.
