Step into Paarl-Wellington: Rediscover Tourism Gems in Your Own Backyard

This September, we are celebrating both tourism and heritage – and there is no better time to rediscover the treasures nestled right here in our own backyard. Step into Paarl-Wellington, where adventure, nature, and culture converge to create an unforgettable experience! Paarl-Wellington is a haven for domestic leisure tourism and boasts an array of escapes that offer respite from the daily grind. The allure of road trips, staycations, and weekend getaways beckons! Picture this: a brisk hike up Paarl Mountain or a venture to Doolhof Wine Estate in Wellington, followed by a leisurely breakfast or wine tasting at a local vineyard. The options are abundant, catering to every taste – whether you are a thrill seeker, a nature enthusiast, or a cultural explorer. Chrismaré Carse, Senior Tourism Officer at Drakenstein Municipality, says: Follow us

“September is Tourism Month in South Africa, and on 27 September, we also celebrate World Tourism Day. The focus is on domestic tourism, of which one of the most significant advantages is that it promotes local travel. Domestic tourism presents powerful business opportunities for destinations such as Paarl- Wellington. The Municipality’s Economic Development and Tourism division promotes leisure tourism through day trips in Paarl, Wellington, and surrounds. Our scenic region invites locals to explore their own backyard.”
