What to do and see in Stellenbosch, Western Cape: The Best Breweries
Hiking trails and art galleries abound in Stellenbosch, but it's wine that takes center stage. More than 100 wine cellars, most open to the public, surround the oak-lined South African town, and tasting tours operate daily. Winter brings a four-day festival celebrating the local vintages. The historic town center houses the trading-post style shop Oom Samie se Winkel, the Neo-Gothic Moederkerk church, and museums dedicated to toys, military memorabilia, autos and early life on the Cape.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 143 reviews
Experience the atmosphere and stature of the Van Ryn's Brandy Distillery where the tour of the distillery includes a demonstration of the art of coopering, a whiff of the Angle's share in the maturation cellar, followed by the guest's choice of vintage brandy tastings. The choice of tastings include an option of a brandy, coffee and chocolate tasting or a brandy and florentine tasting. The distillery is also a popular venue for private functions and conferences.

We have visited here before...and each time we enjoy the ambience (with the leather chairs and large pot still) and the brandy. We did the brandy and chocolate tasting with included three brandies (10. 15 and 20 year old) paired with three chocolates. We loved the 15 year old the best. We were treated to a sample of the 30 year old. Definitely very good...but perhaps just a bit beyond what we were willing to spend.

In need of an escape . . . ? This quiet little wine estate with its protected valley, Zebra, Wildebeest and Springbok is ideal. The Zebra Lodge is quaint and well appointed - with great scenery and a fire place to take away the evening chill on a rainy weekend

Great value for a tasting paddle, followed by your preferred brewski. The limited range does not detract, in fact helps with the overall enjoyment of appreciating 4 superbly crafted brews. Suggest you arrive after having a small meal or couple of snacks. A must do when visiting Stellies!!
