This year Stellenbosch celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the founding of its Wine Route ­ established in April 1971 by Neil Jubert of Spier, Frans Malan of Simonsig and Spatz Sperling of Delheim. It represents the culmination of a long tradition of winemaking started at the Cape by the Dutch Settlers.

Since the founding of Stellenbosch in 1679, the region’s cool climate and fertile soils combined with the planting of the correct varieties of grapes have produced a knowledge of winemaking which spans three centuries. The Stellenbosch Wine Region today is synonymous with high quality award winning wines. The Wine Route comprises 44 cellars which produce between them a large variety of red and white wines. The route offers the visitor an ideal opportunity of sampling these wines whilst exploring this famous wine-producing region. Exploring the Wine Route is an adventure that will not easily be forgotten. This website is designed to guide you through the region and enhance your enjoyment of this rewarding and enriching experience.
