Gauteng is about to be hit by an outdoor wine festival like you’ve never experienced before. Don’t believe us? Ask the nearly 19 000 visitors who travelled from far and wide this year to enjoy the country’s biggest wine festival – the Robertson Wine Valley’s Wacky Wine Weekend. Or the 7000 people who came to enjoy our Hands-On Harvest, Robertson Slow and Robertson Wine on the River festivals. Or the renowned travel journalist who named one of our festivals the country’s Best Wine Route Promotion…twice.

They’re all hooked on the Robertson Wine Valley’s famously fabulous festivals – one of which is about to be experienced by you! Yes, we’ve decided to share our Winelands hospitality with other South Africans.

That is why, for the second year in a row, Robertson Wine Valley Festival @ Kloofzicht Lodge will be held from September 17 to 18 at the spectacular Kloofzicht Lodge in Muldersdrift. Brought to you by the Robertson Wine Valley, in conjunction with Kloofzicht Lodge and Tourism Maps, this festival will let you do what thousands of wine lovers love to do every year – meet the winemakers, owners and personalities of the Robertson Wine Valley as they present the best the Valley has to offer.

You’ve probably tasted our wines before. Now it’s your chance to become our friend and have the time of your life!

Gates open at 10h00 each day and ends at 17h00 on Saturday and 16h00 on Sunday.

The Robertson Wine Valley is in the business of bowling people over with its wine tourism innovation, hospitality and, of course, great wines.

That is why it was voted SA’s second favourite wine route in 2008*. For the same reason it received, in 2009, the Great Wine Capitals of the World’s award for Most Innovative Wine Tourism Experience. The judges couldn’t help but be impressed by the Robertson Wine Valley’s four annual festivals.

One of them is the Wacky Wine Weekend, which is so famous for being fantastic that it attracted a whopping 19 000 fans this year. There’s also Robertson Wine on the River (a laid-back spring festival on the banks of the Breede River), Hands-on Harvest (an activity-packed experience to show the wine drinker how the grape made it into the bottle) and Robertson Slow (where visitors simply slow down to revel in the goodness of the Valley).

But it doesn’t end with the festivals. Visitors can enjoy our non-commercial country hospitality and world-class wines (which offer fantastic value at all price points) almost every day of the year. Our 57 members, of which 50 are wineries, offer visitors to Ashton, Bonnievale, McGregor and Robertson an unforgettable experience throughout all four seasons. Of course wine tasting in the order of the day. Our friendly staff will guide you on this journey, whether you are an experienced wine taster or exploring the world of wine for the very first time.

And if you round it off with river rafting, a game drive, bird watching, cheese and olive tasting, hiking or horseback riding (to mention but a few), you will definitely return again and again!
