Nestling at the foot of the Groenberg mountain, the town of Wellington lies in the picturesque Bovlei valley on the banks of the Kromme River. The majestic Hawequa Mountains are silent sentinels on its eastern border. Val du Charron's 4-star Guest House and 5-star Coach House offer luxury accommodation in Wellington, on a working Wine Estate in the heart of the Bovlei valley. Val Du Charron is ten minutes from the town of Wellington and less than an hour's drive from Cape Town - the perfect accommodation spot in the heart of the Cape Winelands, South Africa. Val du Charron also offers two restaurants and conferencing facilities. The original farm was proclaimed in 1699 and, as only the fifth family to hold title, the owners are conscious to maintain its historic integrity and re-establish the tradition of wine making on the farm itself. This can be evidenced in the rehabilitation of the historic buildings and the character of the architecture of the Estate.

Nestled in the heart of the Winelands, Val du Charron Wine & Leisure Estate (VDC) is a tranquil escape on a working vineyard, just 10 minutes from Wellington and less than an hour's drive from Cape Town. VDC offers 4-star accommodations, two inviting restaurants, and a slice of South African winemaking culture. The 42-hectare estate boasts vineyards, olive groves, and a 400-ton cellar producing exquisite wines. The Guest House features 40 spacious rooms fitted with King Size, Queen Size beds or Twin Beds, en-suite bathrooms with shower and stunning views of vineyards, garden or Hawekwa Mountains. A delicious buffet breakfast is included. For adventure, you can explore the Wild Boar Trails by hiking or biking, starting from Pizza Vista. If the trails aren't for you, grab a book and a glass of something cold and relax next to our pool. Dive in and cool down on those hot summer days. The property also boasts 2 restaurants. Combining elements of the earth, the sky and fire, the Grillroom presents a fresh look and menu just in time for season. Add to that, the estate's rich traditions and modern-day comforts provide an ideal backdrop to make unforgettable memories in the heart of the Winelands.
