As soon as the first cold front rolls in from the Atlantic Ocean, the green season begins in the Cape. As winemakers, we appreciate that Winter dormancy is critical for grapevines – it prepares them for renewed growth in the Spring. But did you know that a Winter vacation, or staycation, is just as vital for us humans? It allows us to slow down and mellow into the deep, unstructured meditations of heart and mind that later produce new inspiration.

Visitors to Stellenbosch can now take full advantage of the green season – from 1 June to 30 September – by earning Stellenbucks when they stay longer than two nights at a participating accommodation establishment.

With blazing log fires, bracing mountain walks and delicious food and wine to warm the heart, there’s never been a better time to take a tip from the locals and discover the best-kept secret of the Cape…Winter.
