Wacky Wine Weekend

Robertson Wine Valley's biggest annual wine festival, the ever-popular Wacky Wine Weekend has been running since 2003.

With over 48 participating wineries showcasing their wines, visitors can expect even more festivity and celebration! And with a myriad of key attractions, both old favourites and novel delights, this is a must-do on the annual social calendar.

The Wacky Wine Weekend has been extended from the conventional weekend experience to include four festive days, with each day boasting its unique signature wine theme, to cater for all palates... Whether you are a fun-seeker, novice or a wine connoisseur, there is something for everyone with.

The Wacky Wine Weekend embraces the usual line-up of fun-filled activities, for example: meet-the-winemaker tastings, vineyard tractor trips, river cruises, sunset game drives, cheese- and olive tastings, a farmers market, street theatre, live music, a fireworks display, the half-marathon and mountain bike challenge. Other attractions comprise: a jewellery market, brandy tours and tastings, a sushi- and wok bar and a simulated rodeo bull. The Valley will also be presenting a gastronomic extravaganza, with visitors spoilt for choice: oysters, perlemoen, sushi, riverside picnics, Italian cuisine and potjiekos are just a few of the gourmet delights on offer. And while the adults are revelling in all the above, there will, as always, be a wide range of childrens activities including: fishing, farmyard tours, feeding farm animals, pony rides, paint-ball, magicians and face-painting.

As part of the Robertson Wine Valley's commitment to ensure a safe festival, a Zero Tolerance Policy are implemented towards drinking and driving. Visitors are requested to make use of the Designated Driver Programme or the Buddy Bus. Drivers who register for the Designated Driver Programme will be rewarded with a whole host of complimentaries including: free coffee, soft drinks, coupons and special deals. The Buddy Bus facility enables groups of 10 or more visitors to hire a chauffeur-driven mini-bus. Join us for a winter weekend getaway at the Wacky Wine Weekend in the Robertson Wine Valley where the fun never stops!
