As you may well know, Stellenbosch is quite a tourist destination! If you're not tasting wines at one of the 130 farms in the valley, you're probably strolling through the charming streets, admiring the Cape Dutch architecture and - again - being spoilt for choice with restaurants. While there certainly are (many) hidden gems, here are our current top 6 local-approved Stellenbosch restaurants you have to dine at during a stay with us.

At De Zeven, we offer luxurious Stellenbosch accommodation and a wedding that lasts longer than merely a day, but rather an entire weekend getaway with close family and friends, where couples celebrate the fondest of memories while creating new ones to cherish for life.

Winemaking is often referred to as a ‘labour of love.’ But, like anything in life, the more you put in, the more you will get out. Respect is a huge factor, as well as kindness, gentleness, and most importantly – patience! At De Zeven, one of our many love languages is welcoming you with a glass from the Limoenkloof range, available for sale exclusively to De Zeven guests.

Ah, it's that time when personal trainers are on speed dial, calendars are filled with post-it notes and inspirational quotes to help us get more organised. But let's face it. New Year's Resolutions show great intention; after all, it's the thought that counts, right? Yet in reality, we hardly ever keep them, and come February, we're back into the Valentine's chocolates and treats.

The advent calendars, Michael Bublé, and festive fanfare have all reminded us that Christmas was coming for the last three months, but in the Banhoek Valley we're releasing our advent calendar today. Instead of opening thin chocolates leading up to Christmas Day, we're offering far more tempting and indulgent treats in and around De Zeven. So even if you aren't currently with us, these are the things you can look forward to 'opening' during your stay.
