Stellenbosch, founded in 1679, is South Africa's second-oldest town and the heart of the Cape Winelands. Its oak-lined streets, Cape Dutch buildings and university give it a relaxed charm.
The town
Dorp Street has one of the longest rows of historic buildings in the country. The Braak, the old village green, is surrounded by churches and museums. The Village Museum shows houses from different eras.
Wine
Hundreds of wine estates surround the town, many in historic Cape Dutch farmhouses with mountain views. Nearby Franschhoek is known for its food and French heritage.
