Yes, you’re reading that right and no, you’re eyes aren’t just seeing things after drinking a few glasses of said drink at dinner. The number one attraction, that has discerning travellers flocking in their masses to pretty Stellenbosch’s verdant valley, is a good ol’ wine tour.
Surely Jesus wouldn’t have turned water into wine if it wasn’t good for the soul? And isn’t it a well-known fact that red wine has health benefits? Well then, that’s settled. A Stellenbosch wine tour is a surefire way to keep you happy and healthy, it’s practically written in the gospel.
Whether red, white, pink or sparkling is your go-to tipple, the vineyards that carpet Stellenbosch will be sure to satisfy every one of your wine related needs – all for a price so good that the bill will have you doing double-takes. Seriously, you can get bottles of quality wine here for as little as £3. If that hasn’t sold a Stellenbosch wine farm trip, then we don’t know what will.
And, traditionally paired with a selection of top-quality cheeses, meats or chocolates, wine tours (under the guise of cultural exploration of course) probably make for the best excuse for a spot of self-indulgence that you’ll ever come across. A day trip to Stellenbosch’s impossibly pretty vineyards will certainly be a “cheat day” like no other.
