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 5-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 Coach House features 3 luxurious suites. The Presidential Suite, fitted with a King Size bed and the 2 Luxury Suites fitted with Queen Beds. Each room has en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, a private patio with splash pool and stunning views of vineyards and the 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.
Wine enthusiasts can pop into our wine tasting room and book a tasting session with one of our knowledgeable staff members. Take a stroll through the cellar and find out how our delicious wines are made.
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.
Val du Charron: where you can unwind, dine, stay in countryside comfort, and create cherished moments while enjoying a range of leisure activities.
Val du Charron is about living the wine lifestyle, so our guests are invited to participate in all aspects of wine production - from harvesting to drinking it.
Wine tasting and guided cellar and vineyard tours are available or explore the vineyards on foot or bike. For a completely novel wine tasting experience visit our Theatre of Wine.
We also offer guided walks between the valley’s historic farms - and, for the more adventurous, access to the famous Bainskloof mountain bike trails (home to the Cape Epic).
For those more interested in olives, enjoy a tour of the olive grove rounded off with an olive tasting at the gazebo on our dam. The dam is also a great place to fish for bass.
