ABOUT THE WELLINGTON WINE WALK
Obiqualand Tours CC consists of enthusiastic and
passionate members who are all fully accredited guides with an equal interest in the enterprise. They developed
their flagship, the three-day Wellington Wine Walk early in 2004.
Since then we have added a 2 day walk and the
extremely popular 4 day walk. We have also just recently added a
corporate walk option for businesses looking for something different and
also 1 day wine tasting hikes have been added for those with limited
time. The 1 day hike allows our locals to fit a day of relaxation into
their busy routine.
The members are Katrin Steytler,
Elaine Wegelin and Carol-Ann Jeffrey. They operate as seasoned
guides as well as first-rate raconteurs, and share a wealth of the
knowledge regarding the history, geography and ecology of the valley.
Each member also contributes in a unique way to the management and
operational responsibilities of the business.
We have also recently added a few well trained
assistant guides. They are also all accredited and are local as well,
thus being very familiar with the environment, history and its people.
On each Wellington wine walk, you will be
accompanied by two guides for the day, while the others are busy in the
background transporting your luggage to your next overnight stop and
ensuring that everything runs smoothly for the duration of your walk.
The guides accompanying you will introduce you to the local
personalities and products of the area by guiding you along private
property and quaint routes, often inaccessible to the general public. They
promise to unlock many of the well-kept secrets of Wellington and trust
that your walk will be a true and very rewarding experience – one well
worth while coming back to !!!!
