We enjoyed an afternoon of strolling through the leafy streets of this beautiful town, stopping to take pictures of the Come Sit outdoor sculpture exhibition and to tuck into delicious wine and treats at M-Patisserie, SMAC Art Gallery, The Showroom and Schoon de Companje.
This all was followed by dinner at the delicious Terroir (seriously though, have you eaten here? The food is incredible) and a night in a luxurious room at Devon Valley Hotel (which has fire places and deep baths in the room plus free wifi!).
How’s that for a birthday?
You can follow the same route we walked yesterday – it’s a really fun way to spend a wintry afternoon. Here’s the map that we followed.
While you’re there, make sure that you upload a few pictures of the benches to Instagram and tag them with #ComeSitStellenbosch to enter to win a luxury weekend in Stellenbosch worth R5800!
The good people at Stellenbosch Wine Routes and Stellenbosch Tourism have put together a range of winter packages that are probably the best value for money you could find. I urge you to try to enjoy a weekend away in the winelands, including two nights accommodation, lunch, dinner, wine and two experiences for just R1400 per person. You wouldn’t be able to, I assure you. But if you book through them, you can do just that.
