Here wine-farmers, owners of guest-houses and restaurateurs take pride in their belief in a slow way of life, an ethos they love to share with visiting food and wine enthusiasts wishing to savour personable and immersive experiences, encountering this magical part of the Boland at a leisurely pace. Weekend visitors will be exposed to the diversity of Robertson’s internationally renowned wines while taking-in breathtaking scenery between flavoursome visits to various farm-to-fork eateries, each plating-up meals made from local seasonal ingredients inspired by the heritage and tradition this region is known for.
These include dinners in winemakers’ homes to wine-and-dine events in atmospheric underground cellars. In the spectacular outdoors, wines can be tasted in the very vineyards from which they are made, while hikers can tackle off-beat trails through farms and valleys. Other activities include game drives, horse-back outings and boat trips on the majestic Breede River.
Each experience may be booked individually, allowing the visitor to tailor your week-end activities to personal preference.
