#SADogsofWine 2020: Submit your photos and win a Robertson wine retreat valued at R10K

by | Jun 3, 2020 | Blog, News

 

We love dogs. Period. Wherever wine is made, you’re likely to find a loyal canine snoozing in the cellar, roaming the vineyards or loyally trailing their winemaker about in their daily duties.

Maybe it’s their keen sense of smell, unconditional love and companionship, or even their joyous, exuberant view of life, we don’t know … But what we do know is that dogs form an integral part of any winery or estate in the Cape Winelands.

BEST IN SHOW!

Our 2020 #SADogsofWine photo competition gives you the opportunity to show off your winery or winemaker’s most beloved cellar pooch, AND get rewarded for doing so! 🙂

This year, the winner receives a Robertson Wine Valley Terroir Experience (for one lucky couple) valued at R10 800. This incredible prize allows you to whisk away that ‘someone special’ for an unforgettable weekend getaway in the spectacular Robertson wine region.
