Your Valentine’s Day in Stellenbosch at Blaauwklippen

There are several ways to plan your Valentine’s Day in Stellenbosch. We recommend you start by booking your table or tasting with us and then choose one or two ideas below.

  1. Enjoy a relaxed lunch or dinner at De Blaauwe Kitchen. Think fresh seasonal plates and a setting that invites conversation. It is one of our favourite choices for romantic dinners, too, especially if you arrive late in the afternoon to enjoy an unhurried escape to beautiful scenic surroundings and a warm, inviting atmosphere. With a glass of Blaauwklippen wine and shared dessert, you can create some unforgettable moments together.

2. Book a guided tasting at the Tasting House and make it the highlight of your day. A couple’s wine tasting is an intimate experience as it is a sensory exploration that allows you and your loved one to experience something new together. Choose your top pour and pairing, then pick up a premium bottle afterwards so the memory follows you home.

3. For something more private, why not plan a relaxed picnic moment at The Farmhouse? Choose delicious deli snacks and treats, then find a shady patch of lawn and immerse yourself in the distinctive Winelands environment. It’s a lovely date idea if you want your Valentine’s plan to feel more casual.

4. If your day includes kids, friends, or parents, you can visit the Blaauwklippen Family Market as it falls over the Valentine’s weekend too. Explore food stalls and handmade goods, then sit under the trees and enjoy something cool and refreshing to drink. We keep the mood festive and relaxed.

5. Turn the weekend into a wine and nature plan with the Blaauwklippen Wine Trail. It’s a shared experience that naturally creates great conversation. Book ahead, wear comfortable shoes, and treat it as a morning adventure before lunch.

6. If you want to celebrate later in the month, The Galileo Open Air Cinema returns to Blaauwklippen on 21 February 2026. Arrive before sunset for the atmosphere and make it your reason to come back for another glass and tasty food.

7. You could also choose a Valentine’s gift that feels personal, like a bottle of Blaauwklippen wine. Talk to us about curated gift options and select something that matches your partner’s taste.
