Wellington plays humble host to a goldmine of undiscovered gems. One of these gems are their compact wine route which is literally the cradle of the contemporary SA wine industry. Here you will find wine made with a whole lot of passion, heart and soul!
Enjoy a rare treat by making an appointment for an exclusive tasting with owner Edmund Oettle of Upland Organic Wine and Brandy Estate. They have been practising sustainable and environmentally friendly farming techniques for more than 30 years. Their main farm produce are wines and spirits, but nuts, olives and buchu are also grown.
They recently opened a tasting venue where visitors have the opportunity to taste a range of their products as well as take a short walk and enjoy the beautiful environment, pristine fynbos and forest on the estate. Tastings are by appointment.
Wellington Wines’ Bovlei cellar at the foot of Bainskloof Pass serves as their tasting room with interesting wine pairings offered throughout the year. Visitors can taste and purchase wines in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with breath-taking views of the mountains and vineyards. host a monthly Moonlight Market during summer and if you are a mountain biking, hiking or flower enthusiast, they are the ideal departure or wine-down spot.
