Top winelands are doing their bit for the community. Rust en Vrede, Overture, The Big Easy, Bodega, Glen Carlou and The Restaurant at Jordan are some of them.

StreetSmart is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the social integration and upliftment of street children. Johan Swanepoel and Nic Dupper of River Manor Boutique Hotel and Spa are the driving force behind the Stellenbosch committee.

Nic says: One of the great aspects of this programme is that the money raised in Stellenbosch will be allocated to local charities. StreetSmart is an effortless process for restaurants, and diners feel good about helping out. All the more reason to eat out in the winelands.
