Even the most expensive & there’s 20 different tasting flights Last updated: 20 May 2024 In the centre of Stellenbosch lies a special restaurant with the “prettiest little wine shop in Africa”. It’s a love letter to wine, and wine lovers. There’s over 100 wines available by glass (including the most expensive bottle on the menu); 20 different tasting flights; and a carefully curated menu made by the sommelier and chef.
This is The Wine Glass. The Wine Glass is on Ryneveld Street in Stellenbosch. Image: The Wine Glass A WINE LOVER’S DREAM Every detail at The Wine Glass celebrates the essence of wine.
The walls are adorned with wine bottles and plaques of well-known labels. The statue in the courtyard gracefully holding a wine bottle and glasses, tempting the guests to try some, is an eye-catching feature. In classic Stellenbosch fashion, there’s al fresco dining on the pavement that overlooks the charming Ryneveld Street.
This goes down nicely with a glass of Kaapzicht Family Range Chenin Blanc, which comes from the second oldest chenin blanc vineyard in South Africa. With notes of pineapple and stone fruit, it’s great with cheese, spicy food and al fresco meals. The Wine Glass commissioned an artist to make the statue for its courtyard.
