Robertson Wine on the River is to be held over the weekend of 18 to 20 October, 2013, on the banks of the Breede River. Once again the festival is taking place in a spacious marquee at the riverside farm, Goudmyn, situated on the R317 between Robertson and Bonnievale in the Western Cape.

You can enjoy laid-back country hospitality as you taste more than 300 wines from over 40 wineries, while soaking up the rhythm of live jazz, ballads and blues. While wine-tasting is the order of the day, there will be gastronomic delights from which to choose, whilst: browsing amongst the country food stalls, shopping your way through the Robertson Farmers' Market, and much more. Tutored Chardonnay Tastings will be on offer in the Chardonnay Tent, and other popular attractions will include river cruises as well as arts and crafts from the valley.

Offering a wide variety of children's activities, Robertson Wine on the River will be a family affair. Pensioner prices are available and children under 18 enter free of charge, making it more convenient and cost-effective for the whole family. After free admission, children's activities will be charged for on a pay-as-you-go system.

Convenient designated parking areas will be clearly signposted en route. For visitors utilising parking areas further afield, a shuttle service will provide transport to and from the festivities.

With wines being sold on site at cellar door prices, Robertson Wine on the River provides the perfect opportunity to stock up on your favourite Robertson wines.
