Robertson Wine Route

About this route

Tucked away between the majestic Langeberg and Riviersonderened mountain ranges, this stretch of paradise unites the four towns of Ashton, McGregor, Bonnievale and Robertson. The Robertson Wine Route incorporates 48 wine farms, a number of which have been owned by the same families for generations, with many of these prestigious wine farms situated along the banks of the Breede river – the lifeblood of this lower rainfall area. The Robertson Wine Valley offers a rejuvenating departure from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and an ideal destination for travellers journeying along Route 62.
