Here’s the thing: Winter means spending a heck of a lot more time staying indoors and a darn lot less time out in the sticks.
But, what if we were to tell you that you can hop in your car and in 60 minutes or less, arrive in a place of such natural beauty that despite the cold, you would be inclined to stay. For a while. And enjoy lashings of arguably the best red wine ever made? We think you’d listen to us….
Rietvallei Wine Estate offers a multi-dimensional experience of wine, warmth, hospitality and an all-round good time. The best part? They’re located out in Robertson, meaning that you won’t have to yawn yourself through yet another tired Stellenbosch Wine Tasting. Been there, done that. Robertson is the NEW best place to ‘Wine-Down’ on the weekend. Do we have to even mention that Winter is in fact, thee one time where drinking moderate amounts of red wine on the reg is highly acceptable? Thought not.
Here’s what you need to know about Rietvallei, if by some obscure chance you’re still debating driving there between now and Friday afternoon:
Rietvallei Wine Estate is KNOWN, nay, CELEBRATED for their red wines, notably because of the wine-making genius of Cellar-Master Kobus Burger, who also happens to be the 6th generation owner of this little slice of heaven. Keeping it in the family works. For 150 years? Well, that’s next-level. More importantly, your visit to Rietvallei will be considerably enriched, once your taste buds experience the manna of wine known as the Esteanna Blend. Trust us. Once you try this wine, mind = blown.
Oh, their Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc is also pretty tasty……Gold Medal Winning ala International Chardonnay Du Monde in France kinda tasty. Yeah, we told you so.
So this is what you’ll probably be doing this weekend: visiting Rietvallei, having a rip-roaring time and taking home a case of their finest, to keep you snug and happy for a few weekends to come. It’s a pretty simple recipe to some good-times this Winter if you ask us.
