Stellenbosch Tourism & Information Bureau
The heart of South Africa´s wine industry, Stellenbosch is a place of great beauty and culture that´s steeped in South African tradition.
The Stellenbosch Wine Route is arguably the country´s most famous, and
the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin area includes 106 cellars - most of
which are open to the public. Enjoy a long day´s wine tasting, and
wine buying and you´ll sip more than our great South African wines -
you´ll taste our South African way of life.
The heart of the town lies somewhere near the oak-lined Dorp Street. With its venerable old buildings, this is the University´s main thoroughfare, where modern student life sits comfortably side by side with our history and architectural heritage. The University - Maties - has produced many of the country´s great sporting heroes, including more than 155 rugby Springboks, and Stellenbosch offers almost every outdoor activity you could desire.
Several Hiking trails within the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve tempt the hikerThey range from an easy 5,3 km scenic walk to the challenging 17.1 km
Panorama Trail and the 18 km Swartboskloof Trail. Visit Granny´s Forest
at Helderberg Farm for easy walking - they also offer various other
trails and an overnight hut. The full-day Vineyard Hiking Trail is best
enjoyed in autumn or spring; it´s 24 km long that starts on the slopes
of the Papegaaiberg, above the Oude Libertas Centre and meanders through
the forest plantations, vineyards, olive groves and coastal
renosterveld. Contact - skip
