Garden at Delheim - Stellenbosch
Garden at Delheim

Stellenbosch is best known for its wine farms and the university.

It is a lovely town about 45 min from Cape town. On your way to Stellenbosch stop at Strand and Somerset West.

There are so many farms to choose from that it can take you longer to decide than your actual visit to the farms takes.

My favourite is Delheim. Great wines and stunning restaurant.
Must see.

Spier and Morgenhof also deserves a visit.

    I thought Stellenbosch was the prettiest town I had even been in. I love the Cape Dutch Architecture. We went to a concert at the university which was incredible.
