Come harvest with Robertson's
The second Hands-On-Harvest at the Robertson Wine Valley will take place Friday 26 February to Sunday 28 February 2010. As some of the participating wineries are not ordinarily open to the public, the focus will be on hosting a series of intimate events to ensure guests enjoy the best, most personalised and 'hands-on' experience.
There are many activities on during the weekend apart from harvesting one's own grapes, grape stomping and mastering the art of winemaking. These include:
- Farm breakfast overlooking the vineyards;
- Breakfast boat trip on the Breede River;
- Adopt a vine and make one's own barrel of wine;
- Wine tasting on horseback or by horse-and-cart;
- Tractor trips through the vineyards
- Picnics in the vineyards;
- Harvest-lunch while sipping on award-winning bubblies;
- Discussion on 'Grape vs Wine'
- Cooking with grapes
- Live entertainment in the vineyards;
- Harvest Market;
- Cocktails in the vineyards;
- Spa-vine therapy, using only grape-seed products;
- Harvest Spit-braai;
- Harvest Dinner prepared by a Master Chef.
Bookings to be made with participating wineries by no later than 24 February. For more information visit www.handsonharvest.com for the programme and contact details for participating wineries.
