Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch · South Africa · Cape Town

Cape Dutch wine estates lined up against granite mountains like a film set, tastings that come with a cheese pairing as standard, and a university-town energy that keeps the whole valley from taking itself too seriously.

The best time to visit Stellenbosch is Sep–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 23°C (74°F). Local time there is 15:32 (UTC+2).
