Once again, the pop-up series on Drostdy Street takes place on specific days from October to March with the first Soirée happening on October 30. This season’s dates are listed below.

“Street Soirées have become the region’s de facto welcome to what is arguably one of the best seasons in the winelands,”  declares Stellenbosch Wine Routes manager Elmarie Rabe. “Each soirée is limited to two hours, from 18:00 to 20:00, making it the ideal precursor to a great evening out. Guests and visitors often join friends here to sample some great pre-dinner wines with top street-food snacking ahead of a meal at one of Stellenbosch’s many fine restaurants.”

The Stellenbosch Street Soirées are intentionally held at a time when dusk temperatures and light conditions make it the best time to be out for mingling and sundowners. Drostdy Street is closed off from traffic and decorated in elegant festive style. There’s always a great vibe at the Stellenbosch Street Soirées!

Food is supplied in the form of stalls selling light bites while each evening also features a varying selection of wineries. This means that wines available throughout the series will change, and you can attend every event to experience something new.

Tickets include 10 tasting tokens and this year introduces a different token to be used for a special tasting of premium wines. If you’re a wine-lover, this is where you need to be.

Added to the setting is the all-important ingredient of live music, provided by talented local performers.
