A trip to Van Ryn's Brandy Distillery
I take you on a visit to the prestigious Van Ryn's brandy distillery in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Van Ryn's brandies are made in French style – double distilled in potstills, and have won countless best brandy in the world awards.
We also meet Marlene Bester, master distiller.

Cooper's song, Van Ryn Distilleries, Stellenbosch, South Africa
This is the 'song' that the cooper(barrel maker) makes when he has finished a barrel. This not only is how he puts the finishing touches on the barrel, but also how he lets the other coopers know he is finished.
Van Ryn's BBQ Awards (full insert)
It's the 10th anniversary of the Black Business Quarterly Awards and Top Billing was invited to catch all the excitement!
This year's awards recognised the work of individual members of the Black Economic Empowerment Commission and the Black Management Forum, as well as those who advance the principles of transformation and empowerment.

Things to do in Stellenbosch, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
On our very first trip to South Africa we spent one day in Stellenbosch where we did a wine tour and hit up a total of 5 wineries. It was an action packed day but we knew we had only seen a fraction of what this place has to offer and we were itching to return! Fast forward two years, and we found ourselves with an invitation to come and experience Stellenbosch, this time with a week to spare. Naturally we said yes! This being the winelands meant that our itinerary was wine heavy, but we also got to see sample the food, visit the markets, check out the nightlife and get close to nature. The following is our travel guide to Stellenbosch, pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and join us on this ride!
In between all the feasting and vineyard hopping, we also found a bit of time to explore Stellenbosch itself. Stellenbosch is a charming town located in the Western Cape, and it’s the second oldest European settlement in the province after Cape Town. The streets are lined with oak trees, the buildings are all painted white, and you have a cool mix of Early Cape, Cape Dutch, and Victorian architecture.
And while Sam was off hiking, I did a biking tour of Stellenbosch with the Adventure Shop, where I learned a bit more about the town’s history, and got out in nature, before biking over to the Lanzerac Wine Estate where we met up with the group again. Here we had a light lunch featuring a spread of cheese, deli meats, fresh fruits, and of course, wine!
And just like that our week in Stellenbosch was over! I think it’s fair to say that we left a few pounds heavier, but with a newfound appreciation for South African wine and a taste of what the winelands have to offer. As always, we hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do in Stellenbosch. If you have any other suggestions of cool things to see, eat, or experience, feel free to share those with travellers in the comments below. In the meantime we wish you happy travels and we’ll see you in Cape Town on our next video!
