Taste Stellenbosch Restaurant Safaris
Three restaurants. Three courses. One delicious journey through Stellenbosch.
Discover Stellenbosch one plate, one story and one restaurant at a time with the Taste Stellenbosch Restaurant Safari, an exciting guided culinary journey through the historic heart of South Africa’s food and wine capital.
Meet your guide in the town centre before setting off on foot to experience three different restaurants in one evening, enjoying a starter at your first stop, a main course at the next and dessert at the final destination. Along the way, your guide will bring the streets to life with stories and snippets from Stellenbosch’s fascinating past.
Each route has been carefully curated to showcase a different side of Stellenbosch’s vibrant and innovative culinary scene, combining great food with distinctive settings, local character and the pleasure of discovering the town on foot.
With only a small number of guests on each safari, the experience is intimate, social and unhurried. Perfect for visitors discovering Stellenbosch for the first time, or locals looking to experience familiar streets and favourite restaurants in an entirely new way.
Tickets are limited and advance booking via DinePlan is essential.
