Stellenbosch transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Cape Winelands estates take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Jonkershoek Nature Reserve for the kind of night that only locals know about.
