Welcome to Stellenbosch
I invite you to experience the old-world charm of a more sedate and pastoral lifestyle of yesteryear, rubbing shoulders with a bustling community and student life and the creative energy of a modern, developing town.
Stellenbosch is known among its many friends in South Africa and elsewhere as the Town of Oaks (Eikestad) and is synonymous with beautiful natural surroundings, historical buildings, and wine.
The town offers a rich variety of experiences that spoils the visitor for choice – all within easy reach and in a safe semi-rural setting. Like the rest of South Africa, Stellenbosch is a place in transition, but what is different is that the town itself is compact, allowing the visitor the opportunity to experience the variety of African cultures and religions, as well as engaging in the very process of ongoing change from a divided past to a united future. The weekly town calendar is packed with cultural events from classical music recitals at our renowned university to outdoor activities and sports events at our many venues. The second-oldest settlement in South Africa, Stellenbosch is steeped in history, but it also boasts world-class research and innovation facilities designed to keep the town at the forefront of finding solutions for 21st century challenges. Stellenbosch is like the vintage wine that it is justly famous for; its many nuances will linger with you and make the desire to return, irresistible.
Stellenbosch360, the organisation which views our town as a unique source of inspiration for both its inhabitants and its numerous visitors, gets its name from its aim to cover these outstanding features, as well as ALL the other many faces of Stellenbosch: its people, its institutions and its potential. The people of Stellenbosch are diverse in their backgrounds and their roles in town: business leaders, academics, winemakers, students, thinkers, and ordinar y townspeople. But they are united in their love of the place and in their desire to share this love with visitors. Just ask them! Stellenbosch has a famous university and a number of other educational and research institutions which attract thousands of young and older people. This gives the town a vibrant and innovative atmosphere which spills over into its cultural and social life. Go and experience it at a rugby match on a Friday afternoon or at an open air concert with classical or popular music! Share our town with us. Enjoy its charm, taste its wine and above all, get to know us, its people!

Stellenbosch 360 - A New Era Stellenbosch 360 – where the past, present and future form a perfect circle.
How many towns can lay claim to its name becoming a verb? Not many, but Stellenbosch can. During the South African War, the town, then a small rural settlement, housed a British base. When army commanders were demoted and sent here, they were considered to have been “Stellenbosch’ed”.
The little town of yore has long since shrugged off its sleepy image, and today thousands of visitors flock to Stellenbosch, not only for holidays, but for shorter excursions and weekend breaks. The dynamic and progressive town boasts a world-class university with origins dating back to the 18th century. The region possesses a refreshing natural beauty and magnificent farms where some of the world’s top awardwinning wines are produced. Here one finds modern, cutting edge architecture side by side with Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian buildings. The town’s original legacy is also beautifully
preserved in a number of wine farm homesteads, where buildings with CapeDutch gables have been well maintained for hundreds of years. Stellenbosch is a town where one can get lost in the past by visiting a 300 yearold church or spending a night looking for ghosts inhabiting, according to legend, some of the centuries-old buildings. Or jump right into the 21st century by visiting fine dining restaurants, chic businesses selling jewellery, artisanal food and designer clothes from both quaint and modern shops.
In the township of Kayamandi one will encounter performing poets from across the Cape Peninsula, while the sound of vibrant music resounds from houses and minibus taxis. Stellenbosch is always abuzz with an energy unique to university towns the world over. The diverse nature of visitors from around the globe (some arrive and decide never to leave) and the many performing and visual artists living and working here, add to the vibe. That is why the name, Stellenbosch 360, is so apt. It brings the past, present and future of this town into a single entity, with the timeless perfection of a full circle. Welcome to this simultaneously pulsating and restful town.0

A Town for all Seasons Stellenbosch is the second-oldest and arguably the most scenically attractive and historically preserved town in South Africa. History is reflected in the neo-Dutch, Georgian and modern-Victorian architecture that bear witness to a proud and dignified heritage. The town’s academic history has its roots in the early nineteenth century when the Stellenbosch Gymnasium, the forerunner of today’s renowned Stellenbosch University, was established.
Stellenbosch is a centre for ‘clean’ industry and is a sought-after location for business, ranging from entrepreneurs to major international companies, many of which have their head office in the town. There is a village atmosphere and leisurely lifestyle surrounded by nature, yet Stellenbosch is no more than half an hour’s drive from cosmopolitan Cape Town. Endless stretches of pristine white beach are within 15 minutes’ drive.
The mild weather and unique terroir is ideal for cultivating grapes and the region has produced world-class wines that have amassed countless international awards over the years. The first Wine Route, established in 1971, comprised 17 cellars - today the Stellenbosch American Express® Wine Routes boasts more than 200 members.
6
Brandy, one of South Africa’s finest products, is distilled in various cellars throughout the winelands. The tranquil, friendly town offers a plethora of activities and events for young and old, the adventurer, nature-lover, music and art-lover, and history buff. Unsurpassed scenery with views over vineyards, mountains and orchards provide excellent photographic opportunities. In summer, jagged lines of oak trees etched against white walls transform the streets into cool, shady tunnels. Stroll along the streets and secluded lanes and soak up the atmosphere. Mingle with the locals at an open-air coffee shop or bistro, or titillate your taste buds with fine local fare or international cuisine at one of over 80 restaurants and eateries. Hike through vineyards and along mountain trails that have been the source of inspiration to poets and artists for centuries, or relax at one of the many health resorts and spas located in the town, amid rolling vineyards, or set snugly against a beautiful mountain backdrop.

Trips & Tours There are various ways to explore the town and surrounds or to venture farther afield into neighbouring towns, cities and coastal areas. Walking is still the best way to explore and to soak up the beauty of the town. Take a guided walking tour or set off on your own, ‘Stellenbosch on Foot’ brochure in hand. For a unique experience, pick up a map and information on Route 360 at the Stellenbosch 360 office and embark on a voyage of discovery about the many cultures that make up this historic town, by meeting the locals and sharing in their daily lives. Self-drive is recommended for venturing farther afield (most car rental agencies have a depot in town), or travel via shuttle. There are several tours of the town, winelands and excursions to outlying regions.
1 Day Itinerary Options Meet with a local guide at the Stellenbosch 360 office, or purchase an Afrikaans, English, German or French map of ‘Stellenbosch on Foot’ and set off at your own pace. Visit the Village Museum; Toy Museum; Botanical Garden; Stellenbosch Art Gallery; ‘Oom Samie se Winkel’ and Dorp Street that is lined with magnificent oaks and fine examples of Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian architecture. Stroll along Church and Andringa streets with their maze of boutiques, and curio and gift shops, interlinked with sidewalk cafés, bistros and restaurants. Meals are a treat, with a plethora of eateries to choose from. Enjoy a fresh, organic salad and home-bakes, or opt for some traditional Cape fare – accompanied by some fine local wine, of course. Another suggestion for a day’s outing in the fresh winelands air, is a vineyard walk or a leisurely hike through the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve.
The myriad wine farms are an epicurean delight and well worth a day’s outing – or several days! Not only can you titillate your taste buds with award-winning wines, but there is entertainment and attractions galore – for the whole family. (See page 117).

Business Events Stellenbosch is uniquely positioned for the hosting of events, as it is situated just 30 minutes from Cape Town International Airport and 40 minutes from Cape Town, in the scenically beautiful and peaceful winelands. International and national meetings, conferences, congresses, conventions, exhibitions and tradeshows are extremely valuable to the town’s financial and social economy, which in turn supports the hospitality and tourism stakeholders, creates jobs, promotes investment and enhances the multicultural influences we enjoy. In order to establish and promote Stellenbosch as a premier destination, Stellenbosch 360 is establishing a Conference Ambassadors Programme (CAP) which will be committed to supporting and assisting local business and academic and hospitality professionals to bid for, and to host, conferences in Stellenbosch. The Stellenbosch 360 CAP will prepare bids, produce brochures, update websites, network at home and abroad, attend industry events and marketing forums, and support and drive business to the benefit of its members. The programme will also support individuals who encourage their own professional associations and groups to meet in Stellenbosch.
Stellenbosch 360 will provide free and dedicated conference support services for CAP from the bid stage to the actual event. Our experience and range of support is designed to suit all budgets and conference sizes and will save our ambassadors valuable time and money.
Conference venues are located in and around the town and surrounding winelands and vary from historic to the most modern, state-of-the-art venues. The historic beauty of the town and scenic splendour of the winelands make this a sought-after business, academic and leisure destination for conferences, team-building, workshops, weddings and other special occasions.

Village Shopping Both a university town and prime tourist destination, Stellenbosch is a shoppers’ paradise, where you can enjoy a daily ‘shopping holiday’.

bric-a-brac, clockmakers, wine merchants, art galleries, antique stores, diamond dealers, and speciality shops, where one can browse for that special something. Take the time to stop off for a glass of chilled local wine or aromatic cup of coffee and mingle with the local folk at a sunny sidewalk café, bistro or pub.
Stellenbosch has seven main shopping centres, namely Die Boord Mall, Eikehoff Shopping Centre, Eikestad Mall, Simonswyk Centre, Stellenbosch Square, Stelmark Square and Stone Village. The Black Horse Centre offers arts & crafts, restaurants and accommodation. There are fashion boutiques, gift shops,

Time to take care of your health and general wellbeing and the best way to do this, is to rejuvenate both body and mind at a spa or wellness centre. Keeping the mind rested and centred is just as important as maintaining good health. Stellenbosch nestles snugly in a valley surrounded by lush vineyards and majestic mountains, making it the ideal health and wellness destination. Whether you are looking for a Spa, Health Resort, Wellness Centre or Health Hydro, the Town of Oaks has it all. Make your time in Stellenbosch a happy, relaxed and enjoyable one. Health and wellness treatments range from Indian head massage, Balinese body massage, Rasul treatment, Aromatherapy massage, Hot Stone massage and Detoxifying and Revitalising body wraps, to specialised Pregnancy treatments,
16
Bridal Spa, Hydro bath and Laser skin treatments. For that all-important ‘feel good’ extra, have a facial, manicure and pedicure, or a professional spray tan to add that summer glow to your skin. Revitalise and rejuvenate body and mind by adding the benefits of a health and fitness regime that will increase the quality of your life.

Several local artists have gained international acclaim and some continue to live and work in the inspirational surroundings. The PJ Olivier Art Centre is one of only a few in South Africa and a proud service provider for schools in greater Stellenbosch and surrounding area. Art joins hands with wine legends during the annual Woordfees. South Africa’s oldest wine route adds a new chapter to the popular arts festival, by sharing the

Golfing in the Winelands Golfing Author, Larry Gould ‘The Stellenbosch Trio’ De Zalze golf course is at the heart of a successful real estate development. The course itself is memorable with holes allowing the golfer to bask in beauty of the scenic surrounds, while marveling at the challenges created by famed golf course architect Peter Matkovich.
Stellenbosch Golf Course merits praise for its consistent commitment to upgrade its standards. Even today this tree-lined classic walking course is in the process of reshaping and re-energising its bunker complexes. Like its neighbour De Zalze, the memory playing this course will be as much for the scenic splendour as the holes themselves. Devonvale Golf Course, built over 40 years ago, has established its reputation as a country course in the heart of the winelands. Always a gem in its design, this gem has been polished by improved manicuring and attention to detail on greens and tees to complement excellent fairway avenues. Gould’s Special Note: This is where golf and wine merge to perfection.
DE ZALZE GOLF CLUB De Zalze Golf Club has the complete Winelands Experience and offers you a great golf course, fantastic 19th hole views, fabulous food, great wines and stylish on-site lodge accommodation making us the preferred all-on-one destination in our region.

Picnics, Markets & Gourmet Stellenbosch is a picnic, market and gourmet capital with many venues to choose from, both in town and in the surrounding Winelands. Picnic at Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, or on a wine farm, within the shadows of a forest amphitheatre or next to a clear babbling brook; the choices are endless. Picnics on a wine farm are particularly unique as there are opportunities to interact with farm animals and wildlife and to be transported through the vineyards in a horse-drawn carriage.
Take along your own picnic basket or make use of the many establishments and wine farms that offer splendid picnic spots, some with wonderful vistas over the town and surrounds.
Whether you prefer a simple picnic lunch or a gourmet basket, Stellenbosch has something for the whole family. Markets are held on a regular basis throughout the year. Family markets can be found both in town and in the surrounding countryside and, gaining in popularity, are the slow food markets and those that offer gourmet products.

Innovation and Learning Innovation and acquiring skills are increasingly recognised as the attributes that separate those who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments, and those who are not. Information and communications technologies (ICT) transformed us and our habits, by the innovative manner in which people can interact in business, in tourism, and in social wellbeing. We benefit from access to information, be it for research, gaining general knowledge, in education and business, or for entertainment. With technology companies shaping our future and innovators creating technologies such as Mxit, a born-andbred Stellenbosch media house, we can pursue a better future through the use of internet and cellular phone technologies.
Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Mxit transformed our lives, offering levels of interactivity matched previously only by the advent of the telephone and telegraph systems. Technology leads to innovation which leads to a more sustainable planet and the better sharing of knowledge.
STUDY Each year, students from around the globe flock to the town not only for its reputation as a world-class centre for learning, but also because of the unique village setting and rich, cultural heritage. Stellenbosch University is recognised as one of the four top research universities in the country and takes pride in the fact that it has one of the country’s highest proportions of postgraduate students, of which almost ten percent are international students. (See page 71).
Boland College is an award-winning and SABS approved leader in Further Education and Training in the Boland region.
The town boasts several top schools that include nine secondary and fourteen primary schools. The founding of the first institution for higher education for the Dutch-Afrikaans section of the population; the Theological Seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church; led to Stellenbosch becoming the home of a complex of educational institutions: Rhenish Girls’ School, 1860; Stellenbosch Gymnasium, 1866, currently known as Paul Roos Gymnasium; Stellenbosch ‘College’, 1880-1887, which later became Victoria College, 1887-1918, and eventually Stellenbosch University, 1918; Bloemhof Girls’ School, 1875; Lückhoff School, 1935, was named after Rev. Paul Daniel Lückhoff, a missionary who did extensive work amongst the slaves in Stellenbosch from 1829. Other senior schools are Cloetesville High, Hoërskool Stellenbosch, Kayamandi High, Stellenzicht Secondary, Stellenbosch Waldorf School, International English School and Stellenbosch Hills.

Innovation and Learning 10 Restaurants in South Africa, playing host to over 80 restaurants offering international cuisine to traditional Cape fare. The town is home to the Institute of Culinary Arts, South African Chefs Academy and Private Hotel School. Culinary courses are also presented at Boland College, Bergzicht Training Centre and Stellenbosch University.
DESIGN SCHOOLS In this renowned centre for education and learning, there are several design schools and academies for the study of graphic design, photography, jewellery, fashion, visual arts, sculpture, art, ceramics,
and interior design, to name a few.
SPORTS SCHOOLS Sport is an integral part of life in this university town that has delivered top achievers in almost every sporting discipline. Sports schools and academies offer training courses and some offer accommodation. These include rugby (also the development of youth rugby through coaching clinics at schools), tennis, athletics, swimming and gymnastics. There are also courses on sports leadership, training and development. The university caters for over 30 competitive and recreational sports.
STELLENBOSCH INNOVATION DISTRICT The recently launched Stellenbosch Innovation District (SID) is an initiative that spun out of research done by the university to create a system of innovation for the town. The main aims are to foster a culture of collaboration and innovation for sustainability between business, researchers, social interest groups and municipal leadership. This will be done firstly through building upon resources and initiatives already existing in the town. These internal resources will need to be mobilised in such a way that the town also becomes an attractive and viable investment destination for external human and financial resources. Vision – To collaborate and focus resources on creating a smart, innovative and sustainable Stellenbosch. Town’s Goal – To transition Stellenbosch into a model SMART sustainable town by 2020. SID Focus – To specialise in knowledge and innovation for sustainability and build capacity for the Green Economy.
BERGZICHT TRAINING CENTRE A non-governmental organisation situated in the heart of Stellenbosch, our story began in 1992 in response to the pressing need for training of unskilled and unemployed people. Surveys showed a lack of trained workers in the fields of domestic work, frailcare, educare and catercare, which became our field of focus. You can... empower unemployed women by making a donation to the Centre.

Stellenbosch University
Message from Rector and Vice-Chancellor, Prof Russel Botman As Africa’s research leader, Stellenbosch University (SU) is ranked among the world’s top higher-education institutions. Our contribution to South Africa is reflected in the high calibre of graduates that this University consistently delivers. Of equal importance is our commitment to the people of Stellenbosch and surrounds. Our immediate environment is, after all, our “first laboratory” as scientists. This is in line with the long-established town-and-gown tradition so typical of university towns the world over. Through a dual focus on excellence and relevance, we follow a science-for-society approach. This means that we are using our key strengths – our excellence in learning and teaching, research and community interaction – to tackle major societal challenges. The vehicle that we use to drive these endeavours is the University’s HOPE Project (www.thehopeproject.co.za). Cooperation between the University and Municipality about the issues facing our town and its people is facilitated through regular meetings of the Rector-Mayor Forum. That is where we combine forces in the search for sustainable solutions. Recently, we partnered with the Municipality in the Stellenbosch Heritage Project, which seeks to unite the people of our town to ensure that it is a place where all residents and visitors are made to feel welcome, at home and secure.
The ever increasing need for environmental sustainability means that we have to act responsibly as a major roleplayer in Stellenbosch. This is influencing the ways in which we live and learn and work on campus. And it has also inspired us to pursue transport and mobility options capable of reducing our overall carbon footprint.
In all of these efforts, SU is able to draw on a rich academic tradition and a long history. At the same time, ongoing innovation allows us to keep up with the fast-paced changes of the 21st century. We welcome visitors on campus. Please find more information on pages 72-75.

Tradition and innovation meet on vibrant university campus With roots that can be traced back to the 17th century, Stellenbosch University emerged from the country’s troubled past as not only the most research productive university on the continent, but recognised as arguably the most innovative institution of higher learning in the country today. The University’s academic and administrative buildings and student residences intertwine with local businesses and private residences, creating a vibrant and picturesque university town in the Cape Winelands. Its plane tree-lined Victoria Street in the centre of the main campus welcomes students, seasoned travellers, tourists and adventurers alike. Visitors who meander through the campus will observe how tradition and history meet the forward-thinking and innovation of a 21st century university in an interesting collage of stately historical and ultra-modern buildings on the central campus. In recent years, the university, with its four campuses and some 28 000 students, has flung open its doors to a new kind of thinking while also opting for a science-for-society approach in everything it does – whether it is in learning and teaching, research and in its community endeavours. This is known as the HOPE Project, a campuswide initiative through which the institution uses its proven academic and research excellence to support international development goals and to take on some of the continent’s greatest challenges. The institution is recognised as a world leader in HIV/Aids management in the workplace training with students literally impacting millions of people worldwide. Making headlines around the world is a “teabag” filter designed by microbiologists and polymer scientists. Made of nano-fibre material the filter will potentially provide millions around the world a safe and cost-effective option for providing drinking water. (Visit www.thehopeproject.co.za for more information.) The University is also known for breakthroughs in TB research, solar energy and micro-satellite engineering – to name but a few. In addition, Stellenbosch made an institutional decision to forefront sustainability as a driving force in years to come. This is flanked by various green initiatives such as making available hundreds of bicycles to Maties (as its students are known), recycling projects, plans to clear the inner campus of motorised vehicles and establishing green buildings. The University sees itself as an integral part of the greater Stellenbosch community and our students are encouraged to give back and participate in volunteer community projects. Through fundraising and volunteerism students support various initiatives driven by Matie Community Service. Stellenbosch is also regarded as our giant outdoor laboratory and many research and teaching initiatives make a tangible difference in the lives of local communities. 72

Business Stellenbosch may be a small town, yet it plays host to some of the most successful businesses in the world. Big names such as Remgro, British American Tobacco and more recently Steinhoff have made Stellenbosch their headquarters for good reason – it is not only an excellent location in which to work, live and raise a family for young professionals, it is also well connected and closely situated to Cape Town, two national highways and a top rated international airport.
Technopark, located just outside the old town centre is the modern economic district of Stellenbosch, which plans to become a smart zone as part of the Stellenbosch Innovation District initiative
by 2020 (see section on Innovation & Learning on page 69-70). This park also hosts an array of large, medium and small businesses specialising in
76
finance, banking, engineering, ICT, design, agriculture and various other services. Technopark also boasts some success stories, such as the first African satellite producer – Sun Space - that provides a home for the university’s innovations.
The Stellenbsoch 360 initiative, in partnership with the Stellenbosch Innovation District launched recently, will ensure that the necessary resources including finance, knowledge, skilled people and expertise, are readily available to promote the competitiveness of businesses in the town. The cuttingedge SID project will allow companies to capitalise on collaboration with the university, the government and the Economic Development Partnership of the Western Cape.
Born and bred in Stellenbosch, our roots in the local community run deep and strong.
Our Boland beginnings have shaped our values, our pioneering spirit and pursuit of excellence. They have informed our approach to people, to products, to business and ideas. They have paved our path for growth and seen us become a global player, employing close to 5000 people and producing over 100 wine, spirits, cider and readyto-drink brands, some marketed, sold and distributed across the world. We are proud to be a leading local employer and provider of exciting career opportunities in technical, professional, marketing and administration fields, as well as hospitality. We are proud too of our role in preferential procurement and enterprise development, so we can ignite and advance many businesses that also become valued employers of South Africans. We are also proud of our role as an enabler to many in the Stellenbosch and wider community.We invest in the arts, in life skills training and education, and in conserving our heritage, by leading eco-friendly projects to protect biodiversity
and promote conservation and by following sustainable principles in everything we do. Stellenbosch is our home. No matter how far we venture, nor how many international awards we win, we never lose sight of our origins. We are privileged to be part of a vibrant, dynamic and progressive community that dares to dream big and engage with the wider world.

Wines of Stellenbosch Stellenbosch has the distinct honour of being the most well-known town in South Africa. History, culture, architecture, natural scenic beauty, sport, education and wine has made the name “Stellenbosch” resonate around the globe as one of South Africa’s premier tourist, wine, business and education destinations. The history of Stellenbosch dates back to 1679 when a small island on the Eerste River was named by Simon van der Stel, governor of the Cape at the time. It is, however, assumed that prior to its official naming, Stellenbosch and surrounds was home to various indigenous communities. In 1971 Stellenbosch became the first wine region in South Africa to establish a wine route, as an organised network of wineries, at which the tourist could experience the product of the vine and discover the magic of the winelands. The Stellenbosch Wine Route donned a new cloak in 2002 with the founding of the Stellenbosch American Express® Wine Routes. Sponsorship by American Express® provided Stellenbosch Wine Routes the opportunity to establish a co-ordinated network of more than 152 wineries, each offering a unique cellar-door experience for the wine-lover and tourist.
The Stellenbosch American Express® Wine Routes comprises five sub-routes, each with their own characteristics in terms of prominent wine styles, climatic conditions and geographical location. As part of the Cape Winelands, the Stellenbosch American Express® Wine Routes is part of the six most popular tourist attractions in South Africa and is also connected to the global Great Wine Capitals Network.

Boasting two distinguished wine brands, Vriesenhof and Paradyskloof, under its banner, Vriesenhof is characterised by an authentic approach to winemaking, all honed to perfection by its winemaker, Nicky Claasens and cellar master, Jan Boland Coetzee.

WARWICK ESTATE
At Warwick we have a pretty simple philosophy when it comes to making our wine. We don’t see the trick in producing amazing wine as being one single activity. Instead, it’s a series of events. It’s a combination of your surroundings, the materials you have and what you do with them. Good wine is about good grapes as well as good people. Every little aspect that goes into that beautiful glass of wine, as the end of the journey, needs to be perfect. Nothing less.
WINE TASTING & SALES Mon-Sun: 09h00 - 17h00 Big 5 Vineyard Safaris: Experience a guided tour through our vineyards to spot the ‘Big 5’ grape varietals. Mountain-top penthouse for private picnics. Tel: 021 884 4410 Email: visit@warwickwine.com Web: www.warwickwine.com R44 between Stellenbosch and Paarl
