 Wine Routes Wellington

Wellington is home to South Africa’s finest Pot-Still Brandies. We have perfected the art of Brandy distillation
in our historic village, only 45 minutes drive from Cape Town.

Now you can visit all the distilleries in one day, with a break for lunch, and a stay-over in stunning surroundings.
Discover the secrets of our craft on the Wellington Brandy Route.
