Although we receive multiple requests from guests to get married at San Gabriel, it’s not something we currently offer. However, if we were newly engaged and looking for the perfect setting to celebrate our love in Stellenbosch, these are the venues we would wholeheartedly recommend.

The Cape Winelands are filled with beauty and romance — and wedding venues in Stellenbosch are among the most spectacular in South Africa. With vineyards, mountains, heritage architecture, and excellent service, it’s no wonder Stellenbosch has become a sought-after destination for unforgettable weddings.

From modern glass spaces to forest ceremonies and historic wine farms, here are our picks for the top wedding venues in Stellenbosch.

Cavalli Estate

Cavalli Estate is a standout for couples who appreciate modern design and luxurious touches. With its iconic glass-walled function venue, exceptional gardens, and views across the Helderberg, Cavalli offers a sophisticated setting that perfectly balances contemporary elegance with natural beauty. Ideal for couples wanting a high-end Winelands wedding experience.

Avontuur Estate

Located between Stellenbosch and Somerset West, Avontuur Estate is a picturesque wine estate known for its thoroughbred horses, award-winning wines, and stunning views. It offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, a stylish restaurant, and that rare mix of simplicity and grandeur that makes weddings here feel effortlessly romantic.

Winery Road Forest

Tucked into a secluded grove of towering trees, Winery Road Forest is the ideal venue for a woodland-inspired wedding. Dappled sunlight, fresh air, and forest surroundings create an unforgettable setting for both ceremonies and receptions. It’s especially popular with couples looking for a relaxed, magical atmosphere with an earthy twist.

Blaauwklippen Estate

One of the oldest wine farms in South Africa, Blaauwklippen offers heritage, charm, and versatility. From majestic oak trees to sweeping lawns and historic Cape Dutch architecture, this estate provides a fairytale setting for both large weddings and intimate gatherings. With dedicated event staff and beautiful photo backdrops, Blaauwklippen is timeless in every sense.

Webersburg

Set against the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains, Webersburg combines 18th-century Cape Dutch charm with breathtaking views over vineyards and a tranquil dam. This estate is a popular choice for couples wanting a classic Winelands celebration — think romantic gardens, elegant architecture, and golden hour photos that speak for themselves.

Stay at San Gabriel for Your Wedding Weekend

While San Gabriel is not a wedding venue, we offer the perfect accommodation base for couples, bridal parties, and close family attending any of these top Stellenbosch wedding venues.

We can sleep up to 26 guests across our lovingly restored farm cottages, making it an ideal place to gather the people you care about most in the days leading up to your wedding. These quieter moments — breakfasts together, afternoon walks, chats on the veranda — often become the most treasured.

Celebrate with a relaxed pre-wedding event for up to 50 guests when you book the entire estate for a minimum two-night stay. Our popular family-style pizza night includes handmade artisanal pizzas served fresh from the oven, lawn games, and lazing under the trees— the perfect way to set the tone for the weekend ahead.

And in the mornings? Wake up slowly and enjoy breakfast together surrounded by birdsong, views, and calm before the excitement of the big day.
