The second oldest town in South Africa, Stellenbosch, is a picturesque university town, its oak-lined streets bustling with student life.

Wine Tasting Franschhoek
The Franschhoek Valley is one of the premier wine growing regions of the country. It was named after the French Hugenots who settled in the area over 300 years ago. The Franschhoek Wine Valley has luscious vineyards set in a picturesque area with lots of antique stores, art galleries and eateries. Many of the smaller wine estates combine wine, cheese and olive tastings. Cape Winelands car rental is the best option for getting here. |
