                              Valley of Wine & Roses

Nestled in one of the country's most beautiful valleys.  The town and valley form part of the scenic Route 62 - The World's Longest Wine Route.  A pleasant, moderate climate and warm, welcoming people in a valley of great natural beauty - that's Robertson in a nutshell.  The majestic Langeberg Mountains and serene Breede River is the perfect canvas for the tree-lined streets of the village, which is renowned for its wines of connoisseur quality, radiant roses and thoroughbred racehorses.  Robertson's appeal is wide and broad.  
No matter what time of year and no matter who the visitor, this town offers superb quality of life.  Boasts a proud architectural heritage.  Here the modern vibrancy of a typical Boland town converges with the hospitable charm of days gone by.  Victorian and Georgian houses and cottages line the streets, with gardens overflowing with roses and brilliant mauve jacarandas supplying some shade.

Visit the many farms and cellars where world renowned wines and dessert wines are produced.  Around Robertson lie the stately stud farms, where many of South Africa's champion racehorses first saw the light. The area is ideal for these thoroughbreds, with the clean air, good water and fine fodder for the muscles.  The town hosts horse shows throughout the year.  The National Monuments include the Pink Church (1859), The Edwardian No 12 Piet Retief St. (1904) the Victorian No 59 Van Reenen St. (1914) and the Powder House (which was used as a storage place for gunpowder in earlier days).
