Event details
This event provides a great opportunity to personally interact with wine makers and enjoy pre booked themed tutored wine tastings. The popular Viljoensdrift boat cruise will offer leisurely river trips for the whole family in aid of the Breede River Hospice.
Family friendly activities will be on offer including a kid’s play area with face painting, trampoline, a jungle gym, tractor- and horse rides. Proceeds from the kids play area will go to the Anna Foundation; a charity that strives to assist disadvantaged schools and communities.
After last year’s success, the second annual Duck Derby will take place again this year. The proceeds from this initiative will go towards the Bonnie-People Project in Bonnievale which assists the inhabitants of the settlement in building and developing sustainable components within their community, focusing on the future of their children.
With wines being sold on site at cellar door prices, the festival provides the perfect opportunity to stock up on your favourite Robertson Wine Valley wines, well known for their wide variety of easy drinking to top of the range. This much loved, open-air spring festival is not to be missed. Expect to unwind, relax and enjoy fresh country air, beautiful scenery and warm spring sunshine with an array of fine wine, delightful treats and great music.
