Win a Charming Two-Night Escape to Robertson Worth R15 300

Flanked by majestic mountains, the Breede River meandering lazily through it, the Robertson Wine Valley feels a world away from the city… Patchworked with wine farms, its calcium-rich soils make it a natural spot to find superb chardonnays and cap classiques… wine-tasting heaven. 

The jacaranda- and coral tree-lined streets of the dorpie itself reveal restored Victorian gems such as The Black House, which has undergone an eye-catching transformation into a captivating holiday home, ideal for a winter break. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the valley on wine-tasting odysseys, exploring mountain trails, or seeking out a multitude of hidden gem experiences and scenic river views.

A magical home-from-home at The Black House

An extraordinarily stylish three-bedroom self-catering home, The Black House is filled with antiques, Art Deco, Africana and contemporary pieces that create a rich and cosy ambience. If the interiors are gorgeous – think four-poster beds, textured wallpaper, chandeliers, pressed ceilings, indulgent bathrooms – the outdoor living area is perfect: a lush garden courtyard with an oversized couch, sun loungers, a fairylit dining table and braai fireplace beside a plunge pool. While winter may not tempt you to swim, it’s the perfect place to light a fire, braai and cosy up with board games, a glass of wine or a book. And there’s an indoor fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen too, stocked with welcoming treats and a luxury breakfast hamper.

A cap classique immersion at Weltevrede

For bubbly lovers it’s always a dilemma visiting Philip Jonker’s family estate at Weltevrede. Should you embark on the immersive Captivated by Chardonnay journey into the history of winemaking (wandering through candle-lit caves) which has been described as “life-changing, leaving you with goosebumps”? Or get absorbed into the hands-on experience of creating your own bottle of cap classique to take home, learning about disgorging, dosage and corkage all the way to labelling? On this occasion you get to do both… a glass-frothing-over immersion into the intriguing world of cap classique.

Lunch at Kapokbos

One of the top-rated restaurants in the valley, Kapokbos (also on Weltevrede Estate) is the proud creation of husband-and-wife chef-proprietors Juan Fourie and Samantha Morris-Fourie. With an ambience rooted in the charm of an informal country kitchen, the food tells a far more refined story. Juan and Sam craft exquisite, generous dishes using humble, local ingredients – including the kapokbos (snow bush or wild rosemary) that inspired the restaurant’s name. Every plate reflects their deep connection to the land, their culinary creativity, and their personal hands-on approach in both the kitchen and the dining room. This tranquil haven is the perfect place to while away a long afternoon and savour the breathtaking views of the valley.

If this sounds like your idea of a perfect winter break, enter our competition below and you and your plus three could enjoy a two-night stay at The Black House (along with a luxury breakfast hamper), as well as the Complete Cap Classique experience at Weltevrede and lunch at Kapokbos.
