Valentine’s Day is around the corner and there is no reason to be bored on this coming Monday. Whether you are planning to spend the day with your crush, partner, friend, or alone, Stellenbosch’s establishments have provided a wide range of activities, feasts, and festivities for you to enjoy on this love-dubbed day.
– Couples who paint together stay together
If you are looking to get crafty on Valentine’s Day Adam & Eve Collab on Dorp Street is the place to be. For R485 you can get two plant pots to paint, two Chinese Money plants, two Dorp Street bagels and chips, and a bottle of wine. This combo will only be available Monday from 8 am until 4 pm with limited space. DM them on Instagram to make a booking or WhatsApp on 064 747 3910.
– For couples on the move
Starting at 5 pm, Couples Yoga is offered at the Manor Lawn on Lanzerac Wine Estate. It is situated around 4 km from Stellenbosch Central and is the perfect fit for healthy couples. R900 gets you a welcome drink, a picnic basket to enjoy together, Lanzerac MCC, and an outdoor yoga session. To book, email bloomingyogi.wellness@gmail.com.
– The best things in life are free
There is no shame in admitting February budgeting after the festive season – and it definitely should not be an excuse for a sub-par Valentine’s Day. Enjoy the sunset view from the Coetzenburg Mountain (entrance here) with a picnic basket and blanket. Adventure around until you find the perfect spot, sit back and relax.
– Getting inked in the pink
Folk Tattoo is offering a Valentine’s special in its aesthetic studio. The special is running from 1 February until 13 February and includes a discount on simple, black, linework tattoos, 20% off of Folk Flash, and 20% off of Valentine’s Day Themed Tattoos.
– Single and ready to mingle?
Dorp Bar on Andringa Street has you covered with their Speed Dating night. For R110 you get both a welcoming drink and the chance to meet your next valentine. The event, hosted by Campus Cupid SA, runs from 5 pm to 10 pm and tickets can be bought on Quicket.
Be sure to make a booking if you are interested in any of the above events to avoid disappointment.
Happy planning and happy Valentine’s Day.
