Our community

Here at the Robertson Wine Valley we believe that investing in our people is as important to building our brand, as it is to make good wine and offer good experiences. The Robertson Wine Valley is involved in the following projects:

LOVE:
The Rural Development Organisation is a special project where farm workers, government and organised agriculture work together to develop the lifes of rural farm workers. Projects include literacy classes, establishments of creches and gardens, life skills, etc and are run on the "bottom up"-approach where the workers decide on the projects, and run and manage it themselves.

GRAHAM & RHONA BECK SKILLS CENTRE:
The Robertson Wine Valley is proud to be a founding member of the GRB Skill Centre and looks forward to it opening its doors in 2008. Building is already underway and the centre will facilitate training for the following sectors: agriculture, hospitality, computer, mechanical, management etc. Furthermore the facility will boast with a career guidance centre that will assist our youth in making important career path decisions.
