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.

Having a somm guide your tasting is rare experience these days - Heinrich was an incredible host for that and his charming character. The Site chardonnay, 2016 Pinot noir and the Bateleur are deliciously expressive wines. Must visit in Robertson

Graham Beck Robertson Estate

Reviewed By Terry157 - St. Helena Bay, South Africa

Definitely not to be missed. The Graham Beck tasting was an awesome experience thanks to Jessie who guided us through the tasting with lots of warmth and friendliness. But what makes this experience particularly special is the amazing setting with the most beautiful tranquility pond featuring incredible sculptures. Just stepping out of your vehicle at the parking area and you can feel the peace and tranquility envelop you.

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.

This was our first visit and we all agreed it would not be our last. We were warmly greeted by our host Cara who showed us to a lovely outside table where she bought us a welcome glass of bubbly. We ordered a cheese platter to accompany our tasting and were thoroughly impressed with both the presentation and the quality of the food. Cara was very friendly and helpful and played excellent chilled music in the background which made the experience quite relaxing and suited the ambiance of the courtyard. We enjoyed tasting their different wines with each of us ordering bottles of our particular favorites to take back home. We all agreed that this was one of the most memorable experiences we have had on our many wine tasting holidays.
