Stellenbosch

A walkable university town under oak trees, with the oldest wine route in the country on its doorstep.

Why it’s worth it

Stellenbosch is compact enough to explore on foot, with Cape Dutch architecture, museums and galleries around the centre. It makes a sensible base for the surrounding estates, and the official tourism page counts more than 300 wineries on its wine route. Nearby Jonkershoek and Banhoek offer walking and mountain biking when you want a break from tasting rooms.
