## Description

Vineyards and lime-rich soils define the Breede River Valley around Robertson, one of the Western Cape's premier wine districts. Its airfield (ICAO FARS) caters to general aviation — private flights, charters and occasional agricultural work — without scheduled passenger or freight service. Air cargo for the region is handled at Cape Town International, roughly two hours' drive west, the export point for the valley's wine and fresh produce. Road haulage and the Port of Cape Town carry the freight, leaving FARS as a local gateway for tourism and business flying.
