Outdoor Activities
Stellenbosch is more than just wine and good food. The mountains, valleys, and coastline surrounding the town offer plenty of ways to get outdoors and active - from leisurely bike rides through vineyards to serious mountain trails. Here are some of our favourite ways to explore the area.
Golf
