Planning a Trip to Stellenbosch? Here’s a List of Things to Do

If you’re planning to travel around South Africa, make sure to put Stellenbosch on your list. Here, we’ll be talking about this historic town that’s less than an hour away from Cape Town. It’s known as a university town, and people usually visit it as a small detour from their Cape Town visit, but we would recommend spending a couple of days there.

That will allow you to fully experience and visit all the attractions and sights Stellenbosch has to offer. So, without any further ado, here’s our list of things to do when in Stellenbosch.

Explore the Town of Stellenbosch

The town was founded in 1679, and it’s best to explore it on foot since it is small and everything is relatively close. It has a selection of museums, interesting shops, and gorgeous art galleries you should definitely see.

You can learn a lot about the town’s history by visiting some museums, but if you’re more interested in beautiful sightings, we would recommend the Botanical Garden that’s close to the University.

Try Out the Finest Food, Wine, and Chocolate

Stellenbosch is famous for its wineries where you can find the perfect combination of chocolate and wine. In certain wineries, you will even have the opportunity to blend your own wine, which we believe is an exciting and unique experience.

If you’re a foodie, you definitely shouldn’t skip this Stellenbosch restaurant. You can enjoy the mouth-watering local meals in a beautiful outdoor environment.

Go on a Wine Safari

The Warwick winery is located at the foot of the gorgeous mountains, just outside Stellenbosch. Take a ride in a safari jeep, enjoy the view and prepare yourself for a breathtaking wine-tasting. The winery produces award-winning wines and lets all visitors explore their farm.

Moreover, you can enjoy a gourmet picnic on beautiful lawns or in the forest courtyard. The choice is completely up to you!

Wander Through the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve

This extraordinary nature reserve is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage. It occupies 9,800 hectares, and it’s filled with hiking trails and biking routes — a perfect place for thrill-seekers.

If you’re not chasing adventures and adrenaline rush, you can simply walk through the Jonkershoek nature reserve, uncover the unique flora and enjoy the captivating mountain views. Additionally, you will find some perfect spots for a picnic where you can relax and appreciate the nature that surrounds you.

Watch the Duck Parade

Vergenoegd Wine Estate is home to the duck parade. Yes, you read it right — each day, you can enjoy this increasingly popular event. Make sure you grab a good seat and arrive before a large number of ducks walk through the door and pass the intrigued audience. It is truly a unique experience that will stay in your memory for a long time!
