WELCOME TO THE WELLINGTON WINE WALK
Enjoy
hiking through the beautiful Wellington valley in the winelands of the
Western Cape – 72 km from Cape Town, South Africa.
Local
guides, fully accredited and well versed in the history and culture of
the area, will accompany you and take you through indigenous fynbos,
vineyards, fruit orchards and olive groves. Stop and taste the
Wellington wines,
olives
and olive oil
produced in this fertile valley. Meet the
winemakers and learn more about their
award-winning wines. Meet the local characters of the valley and hear
their interesting stories.
If
you love the outdoors, wine-tasting
and scenic walking/hiking trails; this is an ideal
walking holiday for you.
We have a
selection of walks to choose from – ranging from 3 to 4 days’ walking.
We also now offer a
Corporate Walk to forward thinking organisations who wish to try a
different kind of team building function. We also now offer 1 day walks
by request for those with limited time or busy schedules.
(See the section on
Walk options.)
Walk at an easy pace and enjoy the scenery as you discover the hidden
treasures. All you carry is a light daypack: we transfer your luggage
to your overnight stops.
At the end of each day we provide comfortable
accommodation in specially selected guest houses, including old historic
wine farms which have been modernized and upgraded to South African
star-rating standards, each offering delicious country cuisine.
We encourage you to form your own party and to
book as a group. We have found that the optimum party size is 10 to 14
people (with 2 people sharing a room). The minimum group size is 10
people, and this ensures exclusivity of your party. We do take bookings
for 8 pax but reserve the right to add to this number. If you have less
than 8 people we will accommodate you by tagging others to your group to
secure the required number of people. We can accommodate groups of more than 14 people, but
this would be by special arrangement.
As the Wellington bowl experiences extreme heat
during summer, we have two walking seasons, Autumn and Spring, these
periods provide the best walking conditions in the Wellington area.
