Description
Is too much fast food and fast living getting you down?
Why not take the time to head out to the country and enjoy the simple pleasures in life – slowly at the Robertson Wine Valley’s slow-living festival. The stunning Robertson Wine Valley has a wonderfully healthy philosophy – slowly made, slowly enjoyed.
At Robertson Slow, one can sample honest, old-fashioned, rural hospitality synonymous with the Robertson Wine Valley’s winemaking community. Relish the slow food and wine that will satiate your senses and revel in the relaxed pace that will replenish your soul.
Robertson Slow is one of the most anticipated and intimate festivals of the year and the Robertson Wine Valley is looking to attract visitors yearning to experience the charm of country life in intimate settings characterised by each farm’s unique personal touch. While enjoying time-honoured activities, visitors will have the opportunity to interact with winemakers and wine farmers in an informal ambience, getting to know them and their respective families.
Here are just a few of the many activities that can be enjoyed at Robertson Slow:
• Indulge in traditional cuisine, using local ingredients from the Valley
