Mark your diaries: it's almost time to swirl, sip, and snack your way through South Africa's wine capital. Wine Town Stellenbosch returns to the Eikestad from 26 July to 3 August 2025, and it's offering more than just excellent wine.
This year, Wine Town Stellenbosch offers nine days of tastings, tours, dinners, and workshops leading up to the main event: the Stellenbosch Wine Festival on 1 and 2 August.
And if you don't have time for a bit of Winelands road-tripping, the Wine Festival provides a one-stop shop and all-access pass to over 200 wines from more than 50 producers. Held at the City Hall of this charming university town, you can look forward to first-time attendees including Raats Family Wines, Hidden Valley and De Meye, joining top-tier brands such as Simonsig, Rust en Vrede, Spier and Blaauwklippen.
Also making a comeback is the popular Graze Table; an endless spread of seasonal, local bites curated by Bertus Basson Restaurants Group Chef Adel Grewar. Extra points for creating your own wine pairings!
Prefer your Pinot with a side of music? Expect live entertainment throughout, plus plenty of opportunities to chat directly with winemakers and cellar hands.
