Robertson Slow 2011

Relish the slow food and wine that will satiate your senses. Revel in the relaxed pace that will replenish your soul

Slowly made … Slowly enjoyed

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.

At Robertson Slow one can sample honest, old-fashioned and rural hospitality, synonymous with the Robertson Wine Valley’s wine-making community.

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 be afforded the opportunity to interact with wine-makers 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
- Experience wine-tastings and dinners
- Revel in the beauty of biodiversity with fynbos drives 
- Learn how to make your own limoncello
- Discover the fine art of bee-keeping and making honey
- Try your hand at making pasta or gnocchi
- Treat yourself to an organic meal on an organic wine farm
- Enjoy a story-telling evening
- Browse and shop at leisure

Robertson Slow may be focusing on the ‘slow’ way of life, but don’t be ‘slow’ to book your place at the events which best represent your interpretation of the essence of country living.
