THE HANDS ON HARVEST FESTIVAL
Festival
in Robertson, Breede River Valley,
Western Cape, South Africa
The Robertson Wine Valley will proudly host its second Hands on Harvest
Festival from 26 - 28 February 2010. This boutique event offers wine aficionados
and budding vintners a chance to experience the magic of harvest for a day -
without having to quit their day jobs! Because the groups are small and
intimate, you are sure to have a hands-on experience you’ll never forget.
This festival also doesn't exclude the children. Many of the activities are 'kiddie-friendly'
and on Sunday, the Harvest Market promises to be a true family affair.
Activities guests can also look forward to, include grape picking, grape
stomping, vineyard tractor trips, grape vs wine tasting, and loads more.
To make this experience as memorable as possible we supply you with a few
'Harvest Tips'
- The day could start out cool and warm up by early afternoon, so we
suggest layered clothing and sturdy shoes or boots. Sandals or open toes are
not recommended.
- Bring a pair of gloves, especially if you don’t want your hands to get
sticky form picking the grapes. Dishwashing gloves works better than work
gloves as they are flexible.
- Bing a hat, sun block and a bottle of water, especially if you are
taking part in one of the more lengthy activities.
- Bring your medicine if you are allergic to bees or get hay fever.
- Don't forget your camera as you will have plenty opportunity to capture
your hands-on harvest experience. (You are welcome to send us your photo’s
afterwards)
- Most importantly, remember you are here to have a great time!
Sorry, apart form guide dogs, no pets allowed.
Bookings for all the activities need to be done directly with the hosts and
before Wednesday, 24 February 2010.
As we do not want to hassle you with such formalities as payment on the day at
our gathering, please pay in advance.
Come enjoy the art of wine making in our beautiful valley together with our
superb wine makers.
