Oom Samie se Winkel (Afrikaans for Uncle Samie's Shop) is a tourist attraction and one of the oldest surviving shops in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It is a known general dealer in Dorp street and is famous for operating almost in exactly the same way as it did in the Victorian era. The store was established in 1904 by Samuel Hannes (or Johannes) Volsteedt, who later became known as "Oom Samie", as a general dealer in Stellenbosch. The shop still sells traditional ingredients such as bokkoms, sour fig jam, honey, chest sugar, offal, sheepheads and Rooibos tea.
