Overberg Wine Walk

Overberg Wine Walk 3 night Option

The Overberg Wine Walk  has been designed for those who enjoy walking at a leisurely pace in beautiful natural environments and are then rewarded with great food and wine experiences. This is our Overberg Wine Walk 3 night option. Our 3 night trail is the most popular trail and is perfect for midweek and weekend breaks. The walk is tailored to suit the interests and fitness level of the group, visiting the farms and wine estates within the Hemel en Aarde Valley. We use High Season Farm as our accommodation base for our walks, its suitably located, offers security and they are off the grid so load shedding isnt an issue.

Our terroir, in effect, “chose” these varieties as its most individual and beautiful expression.” Anthony Hamilton Russell
