Bi-monthly Stellenbosch Street Soirees back for summer

The Stellenbosch Street Soirees will take place every second and last week of the month for a hip crowd to immerse themselves in the inimitable food and wine culture of this forever young town, with live music adding to a cool and casual vibe.

The first pop-up street party will spill onto the bustling Drostdy Street on 16 November when cars will make way for locals and visitors to sip, savour, and share in the enviable lifestyle of the country’s second oldest town. It is a vibrant, after-work street party where strangers become friends over a glass of wine with gourmet snacks by resident eateries and upbeat vibes by talented local musicians.

“Stellenbosch has a recipe for living that is hard to resist or come by. With these street parties, we offer visitors a taste of our way of life through quality wines, delicious bites, and live music. I cannot imagine a better way to spend a balmy summer’s evening, let alone better company to share it with,” shares Elmarie Rabe, manager of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes.

The communal Stellenbosch Street Soirees are for young and old to let their hair down and hang out with interesting characters and friendly folk in the heart of this quaint town. It goes down from 6pm to 10pm and each event features a different selection of cellars and food vendors. R70 gets you a glass to taste as many wines as you wish. Sumptuous street food will be on sale.
