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 hiker
They 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.
An important cultural centre, Stellenbosch has many galleries and museums
housing important national and international art collections and the
Stellenbosch Conservatoire is the country´s oldest music school.
