For nine days, Stellenbosch comes alive with a curated programme of wine experiences, tastings, and events hosted across the region.
From cellar door discoveries and food-and-wine pairings to exclusive experiences and relaxed gatherings, Wine Town offers something for every kind of wine lover – whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or simply looking to enjoy the atmosphere with friends and family.
Events are hosted on farms and along the famous tree-lined avenues of Stellenbosch itself, and builds towards the Stellenbosch Wine Festival, on the weekend of 31 July & 1 August 2026. Here, some 60 of the country’s best producers present over 200 wines for tasting, served alongside a traditional harvest table of divine bites, curated by chefs Bertus Basson and Adel Grewar.
Wine Town Stellenbosch is a culmination of experiences and activities hosted by wine farms, restaurants, tour operators and guesthouses. Among them are specialised wine tours, workshops and curated vertical tastings as well as winemaker lunches and dinners, specials at restaurants around town. This includes Happy Hour daily from 17h00 to 19h00 at selected wine bars and restaurants.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience Stellenbosch and Stellenbosch wine in all it’s glory, this is the occasion.
