The very best season to experience Stellenbosch is back and along with it, the City of Oaks’ famous open-air Street Soirées too. Organised by the Stellenbosch Wine Routes, the Stellenbosch Street Soirées are the opportunity to get a taste of winelands living in an informal, cocktail setting with top wine, street food and live music.
Starting from October 29, the Street Soirées take place once or twice a month until March 25 next year. While the run may seem long, tickets to each two-hour event sell out quickly and bookings should best be made promptly via https://plankton.mobi/.
“The Stellenbosch Street Soirées have become one of the most highly anticipated fixtures of the winelands calendar,” says Stellenbosch Wine Routes manager Elmarie Rabe. “It’s not only a way to be immersed in the rich wine and food traditions of the Stellenbosch lifestyle but many people use it as a prelude to a night on the town.”
With a long history as the epicentre of wine and food excellence in South Africa, Stellenbosch remains a top destination when it comes to The Good Life. It is home to many of the country’s most prized wineries, awarded chefs and eateries. Its street cafés, wine bars and estate restaurants come alive in the sunnier months – precisely the time when these ever-popular Street Soirées take place.
For each occasion, a public road lined with trademark giant oaks is cordoned off and for two hours, is occupied by comfy seating pods, stalls offering a diverse selection of wine and street food, and a live musical performance. Paired with the fine seasonal weather of the winelands at dusk, the Stellenbosch Street Soirées are once again the place to be over the coming months.
