Viljoensdrift

Top choice in Winelands


One of Robertson’s most popular places to sip, especially on weekends. Put together a picnic from the deli, buy a bottle from the cellar door and taste on an hour-long boat trip along the Breede River (adult/child R70/20). Boats leave on the hour from noon. Bookings essential.
