When last did you find yourself in Wellington? I haven’t been there in years! So when an invitation landed in my inbox to come and visit Val du Charron; a bespoke wine and leisure Estate in Wellington, how could I say no?

Who knew that Constantia Wine Route has a long standing history in the development of the wine industry; making it the oldest wine route as it celebrates 333 years of wine-making. 

The winelands is the best kept gem in Cape Town with stunning vineyards and exquisite eateries but there’s a destination with a force to be reckon with and that place is known as the Spice Route. 

Spend a slow Sunday afternoon at the Darling Flower Festival who celebrated it’s 100 Anniversary with spectacular blooms bursting in colour.

Ever want to see me scream and run away while three wooly animals start charting after you because it was running in all directions from a barking dog? Then attempting to feed the Alpacas at Alpaca Loom Farm out in Paarl is the way to go to get that reaction from me again.
