Planning a Weekend in Wellington? Add This Distillery to Your List

Explore Wellington in the Cape Winelands. Don’t miss a tasting at Die Uil Craft Stookhuis – local gin, vodka and chilli products await.

Wellington is one of the Cape Winelands’ most underrated gems. While many flock to Stellenbosch or Franschhoek, Wellington offers a quieter, more intimate taste of the good life – and it’s home to one of the boldest distilleries in South Africa: Die Uil Craft Stookhuis.
