Events in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is a university town surrounded by some of the best-known wine farms in the country, so weddings, launches and corporate functions here usually mean vineyard terraces, cellars and oak-lined lawns. Students at the university add graduations, society dinners and birthday parties, while Technopark and Die Boord host company events and conferences. Rain from May to August makes a roof or flooring important, and the summer south-easter calls for wind-rated tents. Venues often set strict rules on noise, caterers and access, and some limit guest numbers. Planners and hire companies are based in Stellenbosch, Techno Park and Somerset West and deliver to farms from Jonkershoek to Franschhoek.
