Come harvest with Robertson's

The second Hands-On-Harvest at the Robertson Wine Valley will take place Friday 26 February to Sunday 28 February 2010. As some of the participating wineries are not ordinarily open to the public, the focus will be on hosting a series of intimate events to ensure guests enjoy the best, most personalised and 'hands-on' experience.
