South Africa is currently one of the most exciting wine areas in the world, with critics and customers alike praising its excellent wines for their quality, drinkability, and affordability.

While the streets of Stellenbosch, one of South Africa's most well-known districts, are dotted with magnificent Georgian homes and intriguing historic sites, it is the region's rich vineyards, world-class wine estates and amazing hospitality that attract visitors looking for the perfect glass of wine.

With its first vineyards planted in 1967, Stellenbosch is South Africa's second-oldest wine-producing region.
