- Stellenbosch - In 1967, the city of Stellenbosch was named after Governor Simon Van der Stel. It is South Africa’s second oldest settlement after Cape Town. Stellenbosch is renowned for its restored Cape Dutch architecture dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, and its streets lined with majestic oaks.
This is perhaps South Africa’s most famous wine-producing region, home to some of its best-known wineries, celebrated for the quality of their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Bordeaux blends.
