More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The heat of the coals, the clink of tasting glasses and a mountain valley that leans in to listen — the Wine and Braai Experience places visitors at the edge of Jonkershoek’s steep, fynbos-covered slopes and below craggy sandstone ridgelines. A morning amble through Stellenbosch’s historic streets precedes two boutique tastings at Stark-Condé and Oldenburg, where cellar notes meet wide valley views; by afternoon the group gathers around an open fire for a classic South African braai.

History
Stellenbosch was established in 1679 as the Cape’s second town and developed alongside immigrant farming and viticulture influenced by Dutch colonial planning.
Conservation
Wineries in the valley increasingly practice water-wise irrigation and fynbos-friendly land management; visitors are asked to minimize waste and respect fire regulations around open flames.
