You can now experience Stellenbosch in all its good-living glory during the town’s annual Street Soirées, a series of relaxed food-and-wine tastings underway from the end of this month.
The popular events have become a calendar highlight as the perfect way to ring in the new year and enjoy balmy evenings in the cultural destination. The Street Soirées are presented by Stellenbosch Wine Routes and feature an array of participating restaurants and wineries.
For the occasion one of the town’s main roads is closed off, allowing visitors to snack and sip through fine local fare. Drostdy Street is also one of the historic town’s oldest and most scenic, which has made the event even more memorable.
For many of its loyal fans, the Street Soirées have become a way to re-connect with friends after the holiday season. Each soirée features different wineries, giving you the chance to experience more than a few, and to keep the good vibes going.
The 2022 Stellenbosch Street Soirées take place on Wednesday 26 January, 9 and 23 February, and 9 and 23 March. Tickets are limited, and Covid-19 health and safety measures will be in place.
The cost of R150 per person includes a tasting glass and 10 tokens. Book via www.plankton.mobi or pay at the entrance.
