Why winter is the perfect time to visit Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is known to be a busy little gem during the peak summer months so why not avoid the crowds, wander through town at your own leisure and visit wineries or attend other exciting adventures without the anxiety caused by the usual influx of daily commuters. While you are here, enjoy the best of what the winelands can offer.
Enjoy warm hearty food at one of the following restaurants:
Rediscover the flavours and textures of good, honest food – which lie in the heart of South African cuisine. They have amazing special offers during winter!
Visit the “downstairs” cellar door and the famously quirky cobwebbed window. In winter, you will be greeted with a glass of hot, spicy gluhwein. Delheim also hosts a much-loved Delheim Jazz and Cheese Fondues. Enjoy a Sunday afternoon filled with live music, great wine and a hearty fondue!
The Craven lounge has an extensive selection of the finest local and international spirits, complemented by a roaring fireplace, comfortable seating and walls adorned by interesting memorabilia. Honouring the heritage of the Estate, the Lounge is a salute to Doc Danie Craven and his dog Bliksem, who are fondly remembered for frequenting Lanzerac through the years.
If the food is not reason enough, be sure to check out our favourite wine pairings! Winter is the perfect time for red wine and dark chocolate.
This wine and chocolate tasting is a unique flavor experience. Waterford has created a series of dark and milk chocolate that, when paired with their Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Natural Sweet wine, result in a flavour sensation, unlike any other. This pairing will cost you around R85.
Kanonkop is an award-winning winery with some of the best wine the Cape can offer. You can taste their Black label Pinotage from R130 per person, no bookings required.
Ice cream in the winter? A strange combination but Clos Malverne is making it work. They were the first wine estate in Stellenbosch offering a unique tasting experience in the form of “Ice cream & Wine Pairing”. It has since become one of their signature pairings with seasonal, hand-made delicacies. Winter Ice Cream Pairing 2018 at R86.00 per person.
