Stellenbosch Wine Route
The first wineroute in South Africa
This year Stellenbosch celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the founding of its Wine Route – established in April 1971 by Neil Joubert of Spier, Frans Malan of Simonsig and Spatz Sperling of Delheim. It represents the culmination of a long tradition of
winemaking started at the Cape by the Dutch Settlers.
Since the founding of Stellenbosch in 1679, the region’s cool climate and fertile soils combined with the planting of the correct varieties of grapes have produced a knowledge of winemaking which spans three centuries. The Stellenbosch Wine Region today is synonymous with high quality
award winning wines. The Wine Route comprises 44 cellars which produce between them a large variety of red and white wines. The route offers the visitor an ideal opportunity of sampling these wines whilst exploring this famous wine-producing region. Exploring the Wine Route is an adventure that will not easily be forgotten.
Thirty minutes from Cape Town, a warm welcome awaits you, our visitor, to the
Stellenbosch Wine Route. Since the founding of Stellenbosch, it has become synonymous with table wines of high quality.
The cellars of the Wine Route are situated along the four main roads leading to Stellenbosch. Each cellar entrance is clearly signposted - watch for the official
Wine Route logo. Most of the cellars offer cellar tours as well as lunches in their shaded gardens or restaurants together with a bottle of wine of your choice.
Wine may be purchased at all of the cellars. Should you require it, delivery both nationally and internationally can be arranged.
Enjoy the Wineroute's hospitality soon and take home a part of the cultural heritage of the Cape.
A glass of wine will NEVER be the same for you again.
