Hotels near Stellenbosch Wine Country
Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa
Stellenbosch is a Cape Dutch university town 50 km east of Cape Town - the centre of the Cape Winelands, South Africa's most important wine region. Wine has been produced here since the 17th-century Dutch colonisation; the region now boasts 200+ wineries within a 30 km radius. The town itself preserves more Cape Dutch architecture (whitewashed gables, thatched roofs) than anywhere else in the country. The 1679-founded Stellenbosch University is the oldest in Africa.
Standout wineries: Delaire Graff (luxury, mountain views, 350 ZAR tasting with 6 wines), Tokara (architecturally striking with the Equus restaurant), Boschendal (a 300-year-old estate with picnic baskets in the gardens), and Spier (family-friendly with eagle shows). Most tastings 200-400 ZAR for 5-6 wines. Day tours from Cape Town 1500-2500 ZAR including transport and 4 wineries. The town centre Dorp Street walking tour is free.
Pro Tip: The Vine Hopper hop-on hop-off shuttle bus (3500 ZAR for a couple, includes tastings at 5 wineries) is the cheapest and safest way to tour multiple wineries without driving. Book ahead for Saturday and Sunday departures.
