Description
Get really warm when Stellies brings on a serious winter jol. Go big in the Boland and join thousands of local and international visitors who come to chase away the winter cold with a glass of Stellenbosch’s best. Sample over 500 wines made by the most jovial, professional and fun-loving wine community in the world. And the fun doesn't stop there - check out how Stellenbosch celebrities and winemakers battle it out in the kitchen!
Salivate as you watch the contest of the über chefs while they sizzle and sweat in out under your nose. There are wines on offer to suit every palate, as well as every pocket so don't forget your credit card - you can purchase your favourite festival find at the on-site wine boutique. Broaden your mind at our interesting, informative and sometimes tongue-in-cheek wine lectures. There is of course great local fare on offer, including cheeses, olives and traditional, hearty dishes. Festival highlights also include comparative varietal tastings, exclusive meet-the-winemaker dinners, live music from local talent, as well as fashion shows. Also included is the popular Wine Connoisseurs Evening on Thursday for the more serious wine lovers.
Cut loose on the trails. Sporty wine enthusiasts can pedal out their excess energy at the Mountain Bike Challenge on Saturday and perhaps grab a lucky draw or big prizes. Don’t forget to bring the kids on Sunday for fun entertainment at the Festival Café while you sample Stellenbosch's best.
