Val du Charron Wine and Olive Estate Guesthouse

Description

Val du Charron Guesthouse is located on a working farm in the heart of the Bovlei valley ten minutes from the town of Wellington. The farm itself is home to the owners, several farm labourers' families who work the vineyards and olive grove and tend the winery which uses open fermentation and a basket-press, and all their animals. The original farm was proclaimed in 1699 and as only the fifth family to hold title, the owners are conscious to maintain its historic integrity and re-establish the tradition of wine making on the farm itself. This can be evidenced in the rehabilitation of the historic buildings and the character of the architecture of the Guesthouse.

Our Rooms
The Guesthouse comprises eight luxurious suites each with stunning views from their private balconies or gardens over the vineyards of the Hawekwa mountains. Seven of the suites are doubles and the eighth can serve as a spacious family room accommodating four people. Each room has an en suite bathroom with shower. Guests can enjoy a health breakfast or full farmer’s breakfast served in the dining area; which integrates with the wine tasting facility and allows guests to access the working cellar during the day.

Activities and functions
For a holistic view of the wine making process or simply to enjoy the tranquillity of the farm, a number of walks have been set up around the farm that highlight aspects such as the various cultivars of wine grown, the bee hives necessary to pollinate the vines and the dams that catch and supply the farm with all its water. Guests may also fish the dams for bass on a catch and release basis. For the business traveller or intimate function a 20 seater conference room is available for your meeting or party. During the winter months a large fire place with couches provides ambiance for card games or reading while sipping on a glass of Val du Charron’s premium wine.
