ABOUT
Winelands Art - Sips & Sights
While Stellenbosch is best known for its wine and 300-year old history, it certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to its art. The WINELANDS ART: SIPS & SIGHTS day tours give visitors the opportunity to explore a few of the scenic wine farms around Stellenbosch, taste extraordinary wines and discover firsthand the best spots for a day of culture and beauty. These gems include public and private art collections in art galleries, sculpture gardens, museums and art studios.
Complementing art with top-notch wines
Join us for a lovely day in and around Stellenbosch to enjoy and celebrate nature, wine, food, beauty and creativity!
