Val du Charron translates as valley of the wagon makers- so named towards the end of the 17th Century when the area was settled by the French Huguenots, who brought with them the art of wine – and wagonmaking. De Groenenbergh farm was proclaimed in 1699.
If you love the outdoors, wine-tasting and walking and scenic walking/hiking trails, this is an ideal walking holiday for you- and you won’t be roughing it. You stay at really nice spots while your purchases are ferried in a support vehicle, you meet the wine-makers , the local characters of the valley and hear their interesting stories.Speaking of characters and interesting stories, possibly the best part of a visit is how one experiences Val Du Charron wines.
The food is commensurate. Carnivores will delight in the chic Grillroom, with a couple of fireplaces to keep you warm in winter while still enjoying the view through acres of glass- or terrace seating in fine weather. Choosing from grain or grass-fed organic cuts of varying sorts and ages is as complicated and pleasurable as choosing your fine wines. Happily head waitron Chisomo was there to guide me.
Wellington’s James Sedgwick Distillery tour and tasting is a wonderful experience in the unexpectedly attractive, Gothic- inspired buildings. Whisky and sample dish pairings include crisp apple chips, smoked beef, smoked salmon or snoek, and sweet pairings of 70% dark chocolate mousse and pumpkin pie expertly paired with Bain’s, Three Ships Whisky Bourbon Cask Finish, and Three Ships Whisky 5 Year Old Premium Select.
