Stellenbosch is the second oldest town in South Africa. A 45-minute drive from Cape Town, the town and is nestled below gorgeous mountain ranges complimented by vineyards.

The town's biggest claim to fame is as the best wine production region in the country. The local wine estates produce excellent wines, offer tastings, cellar tours and some, gastronomic delights.
