A Mosey through Wolseley, Route 62, South Africa.

One of the unique points about Wolseley, is that it has 4 different entry points via means of beautiful passes, Bainskloof, Nuwekloof, Du Toitskloof and Mitchell.  It has beautiful mountains to enjoy, and you may catch them snow-capped in the winter, which is especially pretty. 
It is well known as an excellent place for growing fruit, wines (which helps being part of the longest wine route in the world, which is Route 62!), olives, wheat and much more. 

It is a perfect stop for active nature lovers, as you can choose from many hiking routes,  and mountain biking routes, and birders have opportunity to tick a few more on their list! Rowing and fishing is also very popular in the Breed River. 

The Wines of Wolseley will not disappoint! They have 5 main wine farms, namely Bergsig Wine Farm, Seven Oaks Winery,  Mountain Ridge Wines, Waboomsrivier and Waverley Hills. All making up the longest wine route in the world, which is the Route 62. 

There are some lovely little stops, from restaurants, coffee shops, and of course the essential pubs. Calabash Bush Pub is a very easy-going traditional local pub with light meals and laid back vibe. 

But if you prefer something a little more upmarket, then a visit to Bersig Bistro ( part of the Bergsig Winery), for a delicious variety of traditional meals.

Last but not least, there is always something to tempt a Historian, along these gems of the Route 62. The most popular historical attraction in Wolseley, would be the Anglo-Boer War Blockhouse. It was erected in 1901 and has only survived in-tact due to being on private property for the last 115 years.  A blockhouse is a type of lookout point/fort used during wars. 

You are able to take a tour through the building. 

Hopefully you have a little more insight into the town of Wolseley, and we look forward to sharing some information about stop 5 on the Route 62, which is Tulbagh.
