Treasure hunting in Riebeek

Many people come to Riebeek Kasteel for the wine and leave with a chair, a lamp or a box of old glassware.

Crystal & Twine on the main road is a warehouse of French-inspired décor and gifts. Roes mixes vintage and art deco pieces for house and garden, and Wunderkammer on Kloof Street lives up to its name as a cabinet of curiosities.

Short Street, opposite the Royal Hotel, has small shops for clothing, natural oils and skincare, leather and boots. The monthly Village Market adds local crafts and plants.

Most shops are busiest from Thursday to Sunday, and some close early in the week. Plan your browsing for the weekend.
