The Western Cape's town of Stellenbosch is South Africa's second-oldest and most inspiring wine, food and cultural destination. The scenic wine route was the first in the country and one of the most popular destinations for local and international visitors. For the nature lover, several excellent hiking trails are found in the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve. A full-day hike starts on the slopes of the Stellenbosch Mountains and winds its way through vineyards, forests and olive groves. Stellenbosch is an ideal getaway year-round, and the historic town's centre is a living museum with unique, vibrant street culture.
