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

Hi thank you for affording the opportunity to give a review, yes my first time there and what a pleasurable experience it was. As it was my 57th birthday and we did the steam wine train the day before it was such a nice and different way of ending our stay and memories we could share. The staff were super friendly and catered for our every wish. All though there was a waiting period of two hours we could relax and await our departure. We visited the adjacent wine farms and what they had to offer could not come close what we experienced at your venue. The cruise itself was beyond expectations as we were camping alongside the river for a week ,but could not access the opportunity to ferry across and over it. The experience of the skipper in the gusty wind made it an even more unforgettable experience. We were a party of four and sat on the upper deck which gave us a vantage point over the rest which we appreciated. The Delhi with its self selection order and the choice of wines were very reasonably prized and would have us return again. Thank you so much for the effort you made to accommodate us and be assured that we will recommend it to our neighbors and friends. HJ Grundling
