Hugging the banks of the Breede River is Viljoensdrift Wine Estate, with a heritage of winemaking that dates back to 1818. Five generations of Viljoens have produced wines here and today brothers Fred and Manie Viljoen carry this proud tradition on.
This wine tasting is a little different, as you can experience a relaxing boat trip on the peaceful waters of the Breede River. The deli is jammed packed with all sorts of goodies to create a gourmet picnic, grab a bottle of wine and you are all set for your cruise on the flat-bottomed river boat affectionately named Uncle Ben 2. The boat cruise lasts 50 minutes and departs daily on the hour. Bookings are essential as it fills up very quickly.
The Viljoensdrift team create 3 different wine ranges to appeal to a diverse wine audience, and most of them at very affordable prices. These include the Cellarmaster’s Selection, their Flagship River Grandeur or the easy-drinking Viljoensdrift Range. There is a tasting area inside, but the outside deck that overlooks the river is ideal to taste through any 4 wines. A very relaxed and unhurried tasting, either before or after your cruise.
