Explore the beautiful town of Wellington this summer with their Unwind Wellington campaign, which highlights some of the region’s unique attractions, its award-winning wines, scenic beauty and rural hospitality. Try pairing with ice cream-filled pancakes at their Bovlei Tasting Room, or visit Imbuko Wines and try their Christmas cookies and wine pairing or the new gourmet pie and wine tasting. The Local Grill at Val du Charron is doing Christmas lunch buffet and is open on New Year’s Eve, or for a more casual dining experience, try the newly opened Piz-e-Vino restaurant (with a splash pool for the kids). The Stone Kitchen at Dunstone offers specials for families, and at Au de Hex restaurant guests can picnic or al fresco lunch under the trees or on the jetty next to the dam, pictured. Go for a relaxing river picnic at Doolhof Wine Estate, or a horseback ride at Mooibly Cottages. Visit www.wellington.co.za
