Marbrin Olive Farm

Xmas 2020 trading hours Mon-Fri 9am-4pm Sat and Public holidays 10am-2pm 25th Dec 2020 and 1st of Jan 2021 Closed We are a small family-run boutique olive farm nestled in the renowned Robertson Breede River Valley surrounded by the Langeberg and Riviersonderend Mountains. We extract extra virgin olive oil and process our own unique range of table olives and tapenade. Come and enjoy the ambience of the Robertson Valley as well as the taste of our olives and olive oil, a fruit well-known for its remarkable health benefits. Heading out of Robertson towards Ashton on the Red you will turn left into into Klaasvoogds East (NOT Klaasvoogds West) and travel for about another 2km's till you see the big green Marbrin Olive growers board on your right, turn in there and follow the dirt road for another 2KM'S till you reach the tasting room. Road can be a little bumpy in places, but worth it.

Bon Courage Estate Wine

Reviewed By postscript65 - Hermanus, South Africa

After staying a few days at nearby accommodation, we dropped in on the advice of our host. It was not a full tasting but the Pepper Tree shiraz is the best of its style I have found in the Cape. Our helpful lady also allowed us to try both Gewurztraminers - the dry version of which hit the mark. The tasting room is excellent with clear notes, Platters awards and we were assisted to the car with our trove. A true gem among the forest of valley vineyards.

Springfield Estate Winery

Springfield Estate is a family owned wine estate situated in the Western Cape of Southern Africa. The Bruwers are descended from the French Hugenots and have been farming this land for five generations. At Springfield Estate, we are passionate about our craft. We believe that our name is our most precious possession, and our motto, Made On Honour, applies to every facet of our being. Our wine at Springfield Estate is made from single vineyards, mostly using natural yeast. This allows the character and the individuality of the grape to truly show itself. Due to our natural yeast fermentation, we strive to work as naturally as possible, both in the vineyard and the cellar.

This is one of Robertson's best-kept secrets. Beautiful venue and relaxing atmosphere. The ladies are charming and a great source of information about the wine and the area. The wine is delicious and the complimentary olives are the best we ever had. A must visit.

We had a quick visit at the farm to see what it was about. They sell amazing natural products to eat and for body care. They have also a little coffee shop set in the olive and lavender grove. The perfect place to refill your stocks of olive oil!

Rooiberg Winery

Reviewed By hazelnut641 - Stellenbosch, South Africa

Rooiberg Wine Cellars is the perfect stop-over to stretch your legs on route to Robertson and the wine region. One thing I've come to love about the Robertson Wine Valley as the friendliness and warmth of the people! Rooiberg did not disappoint! The wine tasting is free and the staff were friendly and welcoming you can taste as many of the wines on offer as you like. I'd definitely recommend the Premier Range Chardonnay and Shiraz as well as their vintage Port. We then had lunch at the restaurant, the service was outstanding, our waitress was friendly and quick. The only downside is the restaurant does not offer a good variety for vegetarians. However, the food was very tasty and the wines are offered at cellar prices, R43 for a BOTTLE of wine! the Red Chair is a fun addition to an awesome establishment!
