 By entering the Robertson Valley, certainly one of South Africa's most beautiful valleys, you are embraced not only by the congeniality of its moderate climate, but also by the warmth of its people. After an hour's leisurely drive from Cape Town, you enter the Breede River Valley and only twenty minutes later, you'll find yourself in the scenic Robertson Valley, renowned for its wines of connoisseur quality, radiant roses and thoroughbred horses.
The town is surrounded by vineyards and orchards that stretch from the outlying farm lands into the very heart of the town. Robertsonians live with the luxury of wine, fruit, horses and clean country air as everyday components of their lives. Furthermore, columns of red or yellow cannas and flaming bougainvillea line the roads outside the wine estates, gardens overflow and vineyards are banked with roses, while brilliant mauve jacarandas shade the streets. Robertson is indeed where the modern vibrancy of a typical Boland town converges with the hospitable charm of yester-year. Whichever way one looks, the Victorian and Georgian houses and cottages lining the street, always have the blue-green mountains as a backdrop.
