THUNDERCHILD
It is not every day that you can support a charity project, and get a fantastic bottle of wine in return – an added bonus, in a way. Every child has the potential inside of them to change the world, and the Thunderchild Project tries to unlock that potential for the children of the Robertson Children’s Home.
Support this cause during Wine on the River festival at the Springfield stall.
FAMILY FUN
We’re really pushing out the boat in terms of festival activities. As always, there will be a country central market where you can browse and stock up on local produce, artisanal fare and all sorts of beautiful keepsakes. A dedicated children’s area will offer activities for all ages on a pay-as-you-go system. Even a petting zoo! Proceeds from the play area will go to local schools and farm crèches. Mom and friends may sit at the Tea Garden overlooking the kids area. Live Music to entertain the young and old on all three days with main act from Newton and Co on Sunday. The annual Duck Derby will take place again this year, with proceeds from the initiative going towards the Zolani Youth Choir. Don’t forget to buy the popular small ducks!! The Viljoensdrift boat cruise will offer leisurely river trips for the whole family in aid of the Breede River Hospice. You can even book a helicopter ride to take to the skies and view the action from above. You may pre-book these via QKR!. Take home a keepsake caricature sketch from Peter Mascher who will be roaming the site.
GLAMPING
Camping. Stargazing. Open campfires. Roasted marshmallows. What if you could enjoy all of the benefits of camping without sacrificing on luxury? A first for Wine on the River! Only 15km from the festival site, (Riggton River Farm, Bonnievale) couples get to glamp on the banks of the Breede River in style. Glamping getaways don’t require lugging a heavy tent and the kitchen sink with you – and you can slither into a comfortable bed at night! Costs are per couple sharing a tent and includes, accommodation for two for two nights (26 – 28 October), weekend festival passes, boat cruises, shuttle to and from site on Saturday and a complimentary bottle of wine on your bed.
Bookings via QKR!. Only R2 000 per couple sharing.
TASTE RESPONSIBLY
With all that lovely wine in the mix, we always like to ensure that our festival goers have the means to practice safe indulgence. As part of our commitment to bringing you a secure festival, a zero-tolerance policy will be upheld with regard to drinking and driving. To support responsible tasting, shuttle services are available from central spots in Robertson, Bonnievale McGregor and Montagu to the event on Saturday. Paid shuttles may be pre-booked via Webtickets. Please play by the traffic rules by not parking on the roads but in designated parking areas only. There is limited parking available so we recommend saving on petrol and reducing your carbon footprint by car-pooling together with your family and friends.
