Escape to the valley of wine

THE renowned Wacky Wine Weekend takes place from June 7 to 9, 2019. This well–established event has become a wine institution in the social calendars of people across the country. This winter festival attracts wine connoisseurs, novices, families and friends alike travelling far and wide to “taste the lifestyle”.

2019 marks Wacky Wine Weekend’s sweet 16th anniversary and the offering this year includes produce from more than thirty established wineries and tourism establishments in the Ashton, Bonnievale, McGregor and Robertson regions.

Participating wineries will be opening their cellar doors to showcase the finest vintages in the Robertson Wine Valley.
