Stellenbosch is a town for all seasons. With its glorious scenery, close proximity to Cape Town and array of award-winning wineries, Stellenbosch is one of South Africa’s and the new wine world’s most popular destinations. The magnificent mountains and hills surrounding the town offer unequalled opportunity for active leisure, such as horse riding, cycling and hand-gliding.

Over the years Stellenbosch has grown into a vast academic and cultural centre. Its internationally acclaimed university draws thousands of students annually, and the flourishing wine industry takes visitors along the wine route to celebrated cellars. This historic town is the second oldest in South Africa, developed from a colony of settlers to whom land had been granted on the bank of the Eerste River. The avenues of oaks are lined with Cape Dutch, Georgian and modern Victorian architecture, of which many are now national monuments and jealously guarded for future generations.
