Viljoensdrift
Viljoensdrift nestled south of the Elandsberg Mountains, on the banks the Breede River, the lifeblood of the Robertson Wine Valley.
Today brothers Fred and Manie Viljoen continue this proud tradition and, after humble beginnings in 1998, they are producing award-winning wines with global appeal.
Viljoensdrift’s success can be attributed to their pioneering spirit, the quality of teamwork from vineyard to cellar and their deep-rooted commitment to working in harmony with nature. Five generations of Viljoens have lovingly toiled the fertile deep alluvial, calciferous-rich soils fed by the life-giving Breede River which allow the vineyards to flourish. The terror lends itself exceptionally well to the growing of noble varietals such as Shiraz, Pinotage and Chardonnay.
Wine tourists can expect much more from Viljoensdrift than just a taste of their distinctive wines. A visit to this peaceful haven, a mere 90 minutes from Cape Town, also promises an inspirational riverside experience including a relaxing boat trip on the tranquil waters of the Breede River, a taste adventure from the deli and a gourmet picnic on the banks of the river
Viljoensdrift is a most welcoming place. From the charming lady at reception, to the shop ladies and... - Jackie Weston.

Viljoensdrift is a most welcoming place. From the charming lady at reception, to the shop ladies and the "driver" of our boat, the experience was only positive. On our return to the restaurant, we were delighted to find an awesome musician whose talent we enjoyed so much that we hung around for ages. I would the experience to anyone staying in the area.

We have always enjoyed all our visits to Viljoensdrift. This time around was no difference and we were received well and friendly and warm, the normal Robertson people as always. Our visit there was great with great wine, exceptional food and the boat trip was an absoluut highlight. Although the river was flowing strongly, we always felt in good hands. We will certainly visit again soon? Thank you

A fantastic trip with beautiful scenery and delicious fish and chips and a burger. We were delayed as a new motor had to be fitted to the boat. We were given free wine tasting to compensate for the wait, what a nice thought! Staff all extremely friendly! THANK YOU
