Day Tours - Wellington Winelands, Cape Town
Nestling at the foot of the Groenberg, the historic town of Wellington lies in a picturesque valley with the majestic Hawequa Mountains standing guard on its eastern border. The town lies in the heart of the Boland and is rich in cultural, religious and educational history. This is an unsurpassed area in terms of enjoying the Winelands and scenery of the Western Cape in South Africa.
Wellington was a small farming community, until the opening of the pass through the Bain's Kloof Mountains in 1853. The railway followed ten years later, and Wellington swelled, becoming a stop-over point for transport in the area. Despite its historical growth, the Wellington of today has retained its small town charm and warm hospitality.
