In 1679, Simon van der Stel, the Governor of the Cape Colony, discovered the valley and named a small island on the Eerste River after himself. The town's architecture includes restored Cape Dutch buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. However, the arrival of motor vehicles led to the demolition of some historical buildings to make way for new commercial buildings.

Our stop for lunch is steeped in history, dating back to 1692. This is a historic landmark and Stellenbosch icon. The Estate boasts views of dramatic mountain ranges, endless rows of lush vineyards, and hectares of gardens shaded by giant Oak trees. Guests will get to enjoy lunch with a wine tasting.

Experience your choice between a wine and chocolate tasting or a classic wine tasting of their 5 wines. Their tasting room is on the water with a breathtaking view of the mountains and vineyard.
