Stellenbosch is the second oldest European settlement in the
Western Cape Province, South Africa after Cape Town, and is situated about 50
kilometers away along the banks of the Eerste River. The town became known as
the City of Oaks
or Eikestad in Afrikaans due to the large number of Oak trees that were planted
by the founder to grace the streets and homesteads.
The Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek valleys form the Cape Winelands,
the largest of the two main wine growing regions in South Africa. The South African
wine industry produces about 1,000,000,000 litres of wine annually.
Stellenbosch is the primary location for viticulture and viticulture research.
The Stellenbosch wine route, established in 1971 is world renowned and a
popular tourist destination.
The area has a mediterranean-type climate, with hot summers,
cool winters and clear, sunny skies. It is at the start of the Cape Fold
mountains, which have created soil favourable to vines. 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.
