5 Beer Tastings & Tours in Stellenbosch That You Shouldn't Miss

January 30, 2022 Harland Bartelt

Hiking trails and art galleries abound in Stellenbosch, but it's wine that takes center stage. More than 100 wine cellars, most open to the public, surround the oak-lined South African town, and tasting tours operate daily. Winter brings a four-day festival celebrating the local vintages. The historic town center houses the trading-post style shop Oom Samie se Winkel, the Neo-Gothic Moederkerk church, and museums dedicated to toys, military memorabilia, autos and early life on the Cape.

Absolutely loved the tour with Terence and friends at Spice Route! We were so well taken care of and did not have to plan anything. Terence took care of all of the arrangements and we could just enjoy the day. This was my second tour with him and I will never use anyone else. Thank you for keeping us safe and allowing us to just enjoy!

For those that are not so much into wine, or perhaps want to experience something a little different from just doing a wine tour! 3 Microbreweries and one distillery in and around Stellenbosch/Franschhoek/Paarl.

We didn’t actually do a tour so I ticked the. ‘Other’ button. We specifically wanted to go to lunch at the De Grendel Winery but although we are not big drinkers we both wanted a drink of wine so couldn’t use our hire car to drive there. We were staying in Stellenbosch and Jake was very punctual in picking us up. He took us there and left us for our lunch. He hung around the area and was there to pick us up when we needed him. On the way back he took a different, more scenic route and told us a lot about the area on the way. It was all very efficient and friendly. If I was to return and want to do a wine tour, I would choose this company.
