The Stellenbosch Street Soirées, which started in November last year, continued to entertain guests on January 18, and now will also take place on February 1 and 15, as well as on March 1 and 15.
The festivities take place in the closed-off Drostdy Street, where each evening’s activities run from 18h00 to 20h00. Between 15 and 25 wineries will participate at each event.
The soirées have become an annual highlight of the region, offering enthusiasts the opportunity to taste wine and socialise in an elegant setting amongst towering oaks at the finest time of year in the Cape.
Sumptuous street food from local purveyors, including renowned chef Bertus Basson’s De Vrije Burger, will be on offer, along with smooth and contemporary music.
The Street Soirées were conceptualised to give visitors a taste of Stellenbosch life, but also as an opportunity for locals to enjoy their town. Not only celebrated for its wines, Stellenbosch has established a firm reputation for the quality of its hospitality, restaurants and accommodation, classic style and urban appeal.
Tickets are R170pp (includes a glass and 10 tasting tokens), and are available via Plankton at https://bit.ly/3FUd9Gu
