Things to do in Stellenbosch, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
On our very first trip to South Africa we spent one day in Stellenbosch where we did a wine tour and hit up a total of 5 wineries. It was an action packed day but we knew we had only seen a fraction of what this place has to offer and we were itching to return! Fast forward two years, and we found ourselves with an invitation to come and experience Stellenbosch, this time with a week to spare. Naturally we said yes! This being the winelands meant that our itinerary was wine heavy, but we also got to see sample the food, visit the markets, check out the nightlife and get close to nature. The following is our travel guide to Stellenbosch, pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and join us on this ride!
In between all the feasting and vineyard hopping, we also found a bit of time to explore Stellenbosch itself. Stellenbosch is a charming town located in the Western Cape, and it’s the second oldest European settlement in the province after Cape Town. The streets are lined with oak trees, the buildings are all painted white, and you have a cool mix of Early Cape, Cape Dutch, and Victorian architecture.
And while Sam was off hiking, I did a biking tour of Stellenbosch with the Adventure Shop, where I learned a bit more about the town’s history, and got out in nature, before biking over to the Lanzerac Wine Estate where we met up with the group again. Here we had a light lunch featuring a spread of cheese, deli meats, fresh fruits, and of course, wine!
And just like that our week in Stellenbosch was over! I think it’s fair to say that we left a few pounds heavier, but with a newfound appreciation for South African wine and a taste of what the winelands have to offer. As always, we hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do in Stellenbosch. If you have any other suggestions of cool things to see, eat, or experience, feel free to share those with travellers in the comments below. In the meantime we wish you happy travels and we’ll see you in Cape Town on our next video!
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture, South African wine and South African cuisine.

As someone who was born in SA and lived there for 20 years I am impressed with your pronunciation of the place names! Surprised Sam was not eating biltong again, he seemed to like it during your last visit.
Thank you very much! Ah, I did manage to eat more biltong on this visit. It is sooooo good. We especially had a lot during our week in Cape Town afterwards :)
I’m going to South Africa and doing some research on Stellenbosch. This video made my mouth water

Hey guys. Great video - seems like you guys really got around! I'm a Stellenbosch local and you guys showed a few places I haven't been to yet - will have to do some catching up. P.S. sadly Lanzerac suffered a rather serious fire this past weekend which devastated some of the buildings.
Thank you! We just heard about Lanzerac. That is really sad news and I hope they'll recover soon.
Great Stuff!
Just great. I loved it!
Thanks for watching, Jean! 😊
Gotta love capetown

Thank you very much! The Jodphur shirt is my favorite one that I own now and we certainly do miss India :)
I'm glad you guys enjoyed South Africa! I live in Johannesburg
Thank you! We had a great time and would love to come back again.
Please come to Durban. East coast of South africa.Stunning weather
We'd love to do that! Aside from the weather we hear it is a foodie city :)
This is a great video. We are heading to Cape Town in a little over 2 months. Who did you use for your winery tours? Thanks
Thank you very much! You don't necessarily have to do a tour. You can visit the wineries independently. That being said the first time we visited we did a Wine Flies tour which covered 5 in one day including a nice braai for lunch.
that is awesome 💜l
Thank you very much! We loved visiting Stellenbosch :)
Seen your Korea videos.... Nice to see you in my home town 🎉🌞😚❣️💯👍
Thank you! We had such a great time visiting! Miss Korea as well.
Great video! If you had just one day to spend in Stellenbosch, what would you recommend to do? what are the must-do in your opinion? There are so many wine estates and experiences that we really do not know which one to pick!
Great video . Greetings from London 🇬🇧
Thanks!
Wonderful Video! With so many wineries visited which ones would you recommend for a single day?
I have already added Avontuur Estate for the fudge and wine tasting!
Thank you! That is awesome to hear.
AMAZING content as usual! how was the weather there?
Thank you very much! It was wonderful during our trip. Warm but not hot without much rain. However, the region is experiencing a drought at the moment so I'm very hopeful it will be raining soon.
Go to Franschhoek!
Thanks for the tip!
Love love love this video, you guys are the BOMB ! although I'm always hungry after watching the video :)
Thank you very much!
I'm so glad you guys aren't Vegan. You can't visit South Africa and not try our lamb or Braai. And I'm so glad you went to HogHouse, it's my favorite.
What time of year did you go?? I'm planning on visiting maybe New Year this year, if all this covid madness is done by then! I have many ancestors who came from SA, and Stellenbosch particularly, so would kinda be going on a "DNA adventure". What do you think? I'd love some summer weather in those dreary English winter months!!
Both South Africa trip we did were in May. THe weather was amazing then.
I googled the bus stop at stellenbosch vineyards but can't find it. Is it still there and how do i find it. great video, were moving to Mossel Bay so can't wait to visit Stellenbosch
Where did you guys stay while you were there and for how many nights to see Stellanbosch properly you need to do it justice???
We moved around quite a bit staying at the wine estates mostly (Spier and Jordan). I would suggest 4 days at a minimum and a week if you have the time to spare.
Both of you are charming- glad I found you
Thanks Angela! We just loved our time in Stellenbosch.
Hi to both of you. I like the way you did your videos of SA. One of my hobbies is traveling and exploring. I Intend to visit SA. Therefore I am collecting Information. By the way, are you interested in India and/or Berlin-Germany? I could give you the insider information - you do the video - deal? Greetings from HO
What Americans call Safari , South Africans call a game drive ie. driving to see wild animals .
Thanks Michael! That sounds a lot more sophisticated to be honest.
Sam said it right, I also want to be a sidecar riding dog in my next life!
Hahaha.,..that is great to hear!
Where is 00:32 ?
When are you coming back I want to Take you to Limpopo
I hope we can soon!
you guys are in SA? omg welcome to our beautiful land
Thank you very much! It sure is a beautiful land. So happy to have a chance to return :)
Please come up to Johannesburg.... :)
Ah, we'd love to!
where did he get that white shirt with the cameras on it??
I got that in Portugal a few years back.
As much as South Africa has its flaws I cant Imagine not being South African xD
We loved visiting Kyle.
We'll get it right someday
1.Capetown/Stellenbosch

Top places to visit in SA?
Howzit!!!
Howzit!
How you edit/shoot video video coming soon??? :)
Do you mean a video tutorial of how we make these?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Yes! Exactly
Cool! That is a great idea.
All that food....
We seriously ate and drank well...haha
Is it weird that I wish I actually birthed Sam? He's too adorable.
Ah, thank you! :)
Looks like fun, although not exactly the authentic SA!
Thank you! The Cape Winelands and Western Cape are such a beautiful region of SA.
Not a lotta shanty towning goin on here guys, but a whole lotta splurging for sure, which was good because that aint the Sam of good ole days - he lost weight......I am worried.....:-)
Thank you! LOL, any weight I had lost I'm pretty I've gained back after this week of feasting and drinking. The township we did visit was was fascinating and the Xhosa meal afterwards was an experience we'll never forget.
Are they Canadian?
Yes, we are Bryan.
Cheaper to go to San Francisco homeless districts and share some wine with the winos there. Then rehabilitation.
Check out my latest video of my trip to Stellenbosch, Cape Town!

HI SAUMEL HOW ARE ARE YOU TODAY
great joel ?
why visist places tht is killing
Is that all to do drink wine and eat ?
omyagad you forgot cake,pffft amateur😝😂
Haha...our mistake
So much alcohol 😬😐
We drank a lot of wine that week!
Samuel is drunk from the start, you can actually see the effort to form words with a face that has fallen asleep. 😃 What a food & booze fest.
fok nee
not handling cutlery good shame
i dont get people who go on wine holidays.. just buy the wine at home. i want to here about the bike trails, the sports, the gardens, waterfalls, wildlife, horserides, town life, paintballing, nightlife, unique settings and restraunts, culture.
this vidoe is just a waste of my time watching you taste wines (that youve not even bothered to mention the names of) and eating non traditional foods
I understand your point. For some people it is to relax and eat well and rest. Some of these locations offer all of that for those wanting to enjoy some adventure as well.
Wow I have no words for this man 🤦♂️
