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.

ESONA BOUTIQUE WINE ESTATE - ROBERTSON. What an absolutely awesome experience. You have to try the “Taste the Difference” premium tasting experience. Conducted in the old cement fermentation tanks called “The Kuip”. The multi-sensorial tasting combines excellent wines served in Riedel stemware paired with confectionery, music and art. A truly memorable experience and one that confirms why using the correct glass for each cultivar/varietal is so important. Thank you Hirchill you were an excellent host! #winetasting #robertson #roberstonwineroute #robertsontourism #winevalleysafari #fermentationtanks #sensorialexperience #riedelglass #cometocapetown #visitsouthafrica #westerncape #gallivantwithg

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.

Excelsior Wine Estate

Reviewed By Mobile35942195053 - Bristol, United Kingdom

This wonderful wine estate, where we were actually staying at the Excelsior Manor guesthouse, is set in such a beautiful location just off the R317. As residents for 4 nights we enjoyed the best hospitality throughout our stay, something that was never surpassed in the 3 weeks of travelling in South Africa. The wine estate offers wine tasting at the delightful wooden tasting room on the dam, wine creation, where one can taste and then blend the different wines to create your own bottle just to your own palate and brunch/lunch at the deli, the Graze restaurant. Fabulous lunch on arrival, taken at Graze and enjoyed on the lawn outside, we did our wine tasting(free to residents), in the early afternoon before enjoying the facilities that the Manor Guesthouse offers- the golf buggy around the estate is a bonus. Always a pleasure to be here, like a home from home. Arrived as the temperature started to soar- summer had arrived.

I fund the staff very organised and proffessional. We booked the cruise on line and 10 min before the departure, as they couldn't see us, they gave us a call to make sure we do not miss the ride. We arrived on time to board for a lovely and peacfull cruise on Breede river. A very relaxing activity to do while in Robertson.
