Founded by Commender Simon van der Stel in the 17th century, and known as The
City of Oaks, Stellenbosch wields an old magic attraction of Cape Dutch style
homes and is the centre of South Africa's dynamic wine industry.
Travel through spectacular undulating winelands and drop into any one of the
many vineyards for a wine tasting. Among 23 private and 5 co-operative cellars,
you are certain to find a winemaster only too willing to discuss his traditions
and wines.
With hundreds of world-wide awards to their credit, these farmers also provide
delightful options for fine meals, picnic baskets and vintner's
platters to be enjoyed amongst the scenic splendor.
