Harvest time in Robertson

28 Jan 2011

The annual Robertson Wine Valley's Hands-on Harvest takes place from 25-27 February 2011 and offers an exciting line-up of festivities for fun seekers, novices and wine connoisseurs alike. As some of the wineries participating in 'Hands-On Harvest' are not ordinarily open to the public, the focus will be on hosting a series of intimate events. This ensures that guests enjoy the personalised and 'hands-on' experiences.
