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

The boat trip was a very good experience. We enjoyed it thoroughly. For a few rand more it could actually be a bit longer and stand still at a particular point in time for people to enjoy the view more. Longer waiting period between rides so that staff have ample enough time to. clean in between and people have reserved seats allocated to them. That way nobody has to rush or wait. The views and the trip on the river more than made up for any hiccups encountered. Thank you.

Our River cruise on 12 April 2026 was a most enjoyable experience. We were impressed by the service at the restaurant. The turnaround time for the food was quick, and the meal was delicious. Drinks service was good too. We liked what the restaurant offered as a perfect selection of choice for the picnic basket. The cruise itself was manned with competence giving us the peace of mind to immerse into the tranquility of the environment. We will certainly promote your business to our friend and family. Thank you for the memorable experience. Carol and Keith Hair

It was unfortunate that the weather was not on our.side to enjoy the trip as we wanted too, but the staff were so polite and friendly which made up for it. The venue and pizza were enjoyed by the whole family. Live entertainment was also really nice

Well... we will definitely come again. First time for us, Breede River cruise at Viljoensdrift was marvelous, and blissful. From preparation to boarding and actual cruising, the scenery was beautiful, and although with a cold front approaching, the sun was still up and giving some warmth. The captain was also helpful in explaining the details of the river, and the farms along the river.
