Robertson valley is on the well-known Western Cape Wine Route which is one of the top wine producing areas in Africa and it’s only a stones throw from Cape Town.
The excellent wines and spectacular setting make Robertson Wine Valley a pleasure to visit. Robertson is a short hour and a half drive from Cape Town and offers a variety of wine farms for opportunities to taste and buy connoisseur quality wine at very affordable prices. You can make an adventure of this journey into the Cape Winelands by combining a Robertson valley tour with other prime destinations nearby. Bonnievale, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, McGregor and Breedekloof are some of the renowned wine making areas neighbouring Robertson Wine Valley. Many of the top notch boutique wineries on the wine route offer accommodation and fine dining in the tranquil setting of the wine farms themselves. If you plan not to spit that delicious wine out in the tasting then maybe arrange an overnight stay or designate a driver. You can also book cellar tours on the Robert wine farms and go on winemaking courses to learn more about the art of winemaking.
Whether you’re looking for bubbly sparkling wines, light chardonnays or a more serious Shiraz, the Robertson wine valley in the Cape Winelands will tantalise your taste buds.
