GETTING THERE The warm-hearted town of Stellenbosch is located just over 50km from Cape Town and only 30km from Cape Town International Airport, making it an easily accessible destination for a weekend away, longer getaway or business trip for locals and international visitors alike. Getting to and around Stellenbosch is simple. The Western Cape boasts a world class road network making hiring a car one of the easiest ways to get to Stellenbosch. Visitors also have several other options to travel to Stellenbosch, including metered taxis, Uber, transfer companies, tour operators or self-drive.

GETTING AROUND Our beautiful and historic town centre of Stellenbosch is small and walkable.

For guests who would like to visit Greater Stellenbosch, metered taxis, Uber and transfer companies offer safe transport to wine farms and other attractions in the area. Driving while under the influence of alcohol is a serious offence, so if you plan to visit our many wonderful wine farms, it is essential that you have a designated driver in your group. Stellenbosch supports responsible consumption of alcohol so if you are going to drink or taste, make arrangements with a guide or taxi to enjoy the experience safely.

SOCIO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

SOCIO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT At the heart of Visit Stellenbosch is a determination to drive socio-economic development, focusing on job creation, skills improvement and enterprise development. All stakeholders collaborate to create high-impact tourism-led solutions to tackle pressing social and economic issues and work together to develop opportunities for our communities to thrive. The areas of impact include skills training and employment, tourism enterprise development and localised ownership, representation and economic inclusion of all Stellenbosch communities and the development of social integration and cohesion. A significant component of our socio-economic development strategy is supporting local black-owned tourism enterprises, to bring about economic inclusion and to create products that can offer visitors authentic and culturally unique experiences. We aim to help tourism entrepreneurs become ‘market ready’ and, secondly, help them gain access to the tourism market through promotion. To bring about economic empowerment, these enterprises need to be well structured, formalised and included in the larger tourism product offering in Stellenbosch.

Township and Village was established as a social enterprise in 2018, with self-sustainability as a central goal. The social enterprise is based on an economic stimulus model that promotes the financial growth and self-reliance of marginalised entrepreneurs in the tourism sector. Visit Stellenbosch entered into a formal partnership with Township and Village in 2019 and the social enterprise is our flagship tourism enterprise development project. We support the development of the social enterprise strategically through tourism intelligence, product development, funding and marketing support.

VISITING THE STELLENBOSCH WINE ROUTES Stellenbosch Wine Routes is one of the top six tourist destinations in the Western Cape. This world-class route has been divided into five sub routes to make for easier exploring. These sub routes are based on physical location and have no relation to the Wine of Origin system or any areas within the Stellenbosch region. The sub-routes include the Greater Simonsberg, Stellenbosch Berg, Helderberg, Stellenbosch Valley and Bottelary Hills. There are over 100 wine cellar doors and tasting experiences along the route, many of them boasting historical farms with beautiful Cape Dutch manor houses, gardens, hotels and fine-dining restaurants. The Stellenbosch Wine Route is the oldest in South Africa. World-class wines have been produced here since 1971 and have contributed to creating an international profile for this Boland university town.

We gladly share the following guidelines and tips with you to ensure that your visit will be enjoyable and memorable. These are guidelines only. Each cellar has its own system of operation. Where to start Use Stellenbosch Wine Routes, the Perfect Pairing, as a reference to define the activities you wish to experience. Stellenbosch Wine Routes has so much to offer, so have a look at our handy guide detailing all the different experiences and tastings available. Decide which cellar you wish to visit first. You will need at least one hour for each farm visit. Allow for approx. 20 minutes traveling time between stops. This is the average travel time for farms in the same region. Try to join a cellar tour (normally available in the mornings). You will find it most informative, entertaining and interesting. Cellar tours during harvest time in particular give you the opportunity to see how grapes are processed in the cellar. February is peak harvest time. Consult the Stellenbosch Wine Routes map. Decide where you want to enjoy lunch. We suggest you arrive at your lunch venue between 12:30 and 14:00 as many kitchens close at 15:00. Arrive at your last cellar at least one hour before closing time to ensure you can still taste their wines. Avoid wearing heavy fragrances as this can interfere with the tasting experience. Many wineries are family friendly and can offer tastings for children or play areas and children’s activities. To fully enjoy your wine routes experience, arrange a dedicated designated driver or private shuttle, guide and a private tour, join a tour group or jump o the hop-on-hop-off service.

WINE TOURS Drinking and driving is a serious offence, so be sure to appoint a designated driver or better still, book a guide, driver, or go on an organised wine tour. There are many different options available, such as joining a group to explore the wine farms and enjoy tastings, taking the hop-on-hop off service or booking a personal guide for an exclusive tour. For guests who would like to make the most of their visit to Stellenbosch and surrounds, there’s a diversity of wine tour operators to ensure you can explore our warm-hearted town and wine routes, safely and easily without missing a beat.

I’m here, what now Expect to pay a tasting fee at most wineries. Most wineries offer different tasting options. Ask the tasting room assistant for guidance. Taste dry white wines first, proceed to red wines and sample sweeter wines last. Sparkling wines and Cap Classiques can be enjoyed between wine types to clean your palate. The tasting order will allow your palate to progress naturally. Do not swallow all the wines you’ve tasted! Spittoons are provided. Smoking is not allowed in tasting rooms and some wineries are totally smoke free zones. Some wineries may serve you at tables and others may only serve at the tasting counter. Ask your tasting room assistant.

How to purchase wine Most cellars allow you to buy mixed cases of wine. Wine can be delivered to your door on request. Ask the tasting room assistant for delivery options. Some cellars offer fragile packaging, especially when shipping overseas. Wine is the perfect gift, for yourselves or loved ones, to remember our region.

#VisitStellenbosch for Art Lovers John Dewey said: “Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians; it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality. Those who have the gift of creative expression in unusually large measure disclose the meaning of the individuality of others to those others. In participating in the work of art, they become artists in their activity. They learn to know and honour individuality in whatever form it appears. The fountains of creative activity are discovered and released. The free individuality which is the source of art is also the final source of creative development in time.” In and around Stellenbosch you’ll find many opportunities to drink in beauty and creative expression, whether it is a garden dedicated to sculpture or one of the many galleries exhibiting classic or work from emerging artists, you will find your fix. Start your day with a visit the Rupert Museum. The Rupert Museum showcases the unique private art collection started in the 1940s by the late Anton and Huberte Rupert.
