Wellington Wine Walk

This three or four day hiking trail through the beautiful Wellington valley in the Winelands of the Western Cape – 75 km from Cape Town, South Africa – takes you through indigenous fynbos, vineyards, orchards and olive groves. If you love the outdoors, wine tasting and you love to walk, we have superb holiday options for you.

Enjoy hiking with a difference. All you carry is a light day-pack and we transport your luggage to the next stop. Walk at an easy pace and enjoy the scenery as you discover hidden treasures. Stop and taste the Wellington wines, cheeses and olives produced in this fertile valley. Local guides, fully accredited and well versed in the history and culture of the area, will accompany you.

At the end of each day we provide comfortable accommodation in four different guest houses on historic Huguenot farms, each offering traditional Cape cuisine.

Groups of 8 to 10 (maximum 12) persons sharing are preferred, and ensure exclusivity, although we do try to accommodate individual hikers, by adding them to existing groups, if applicable. A minimum group size of 6 persons is required for the 3 and 4-day hikes. As the Wellington bowl experiences extreme heat during summer, we operate these walking tours from March through to November.

What our guests have to say.

Thank you all so much for the most fabulous Wine walk .............., I don't actually know where to begin because it was far better than any of us had ever imagined - all of you, the walk, the countryside, the wines, the wine farms, olives, olive oil, people giving us the tastings, pinotage jam, the guest houses ................., the food (which was so delicious)...

Every single minute of every day was a complete and utter treat and for that we are all so grateful. Well done for coming up with such an excellent walk. We have told so many people about it and in our company alone it is the talk of the town - so hopefully you will be getting some walkers coming your way and we all would love to do it again next year .......

Thank you so much

With lotsa love

Lynne, Bronwen, Annemarie, Lyn, Isilda, Jenny & Angela

OBITUARY- GRIETJIE JOUBERT

Our serenely kind, considerate and most capable colleague, Grietjie Joubert, one of the founder members of the Wellington Wine Walk, sadly passed away at the end of October 2011, after a brief but devastating illness.

She has made such an extremely valuable contribution to the development of the wine walk concept and its practical implementation, that she will be very hard to replace. She is acutely missed by her four partners and all the wine walkers who have been charmed by her unique guiding style, her knowledge, sincerity and selflessness.

We salute her for all these wonderful attributes and will continue to feel her presence as we listen to the wind in the trees and see the fynbos in bloom.

All walks are organised and scheduled on request.

We use SATOUR accredited tour guides.

Vineyards, steams, mountain peaks, superb wines, great company, fascinating fynbos. Find it all on the Wellington Wine Walk.
