Trail your feet in the cool waters of the Breede River, while toasting the good life with a glass of Viljoensdrift wine on board their elegant flat-bottomed river boat named Uncle Ben 2.
The approximately 1 hour-long meander along the river, flanked by indigenous Breede River Yellowwood and Wild Olive trees teeming with a variety of bird species, sets the scene for a leisurely riverside experience. Fill your picnic basket to the brim with sumptuous fare from our deli, add a bottle or two of Viljoensdrift’s fine wines and enjoy your picnic during your trip down the river. What better way to spend a laid-back afternoon with family and friends?

The experience was awesome, friendly staff, the boat cruise a must for everyone. - Lourence
Thank you we enjoyed our afternoon. Long drive from Strand. If I could make a recommendation I would recommend that the picnic food option be expanded a bit and maybe made a bit easier to prepare and eat we found it messy and uncomfortable. We were there on a very hot day so the cheese was very soft and not pleasant. Maybe some crisps and more sweet things? The Pizza we ate was great we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks will definitely bring friends next time - Hanneli
Was absolutely wonderful. It is so hot in that area. Why not put those sprinklers in the roof where the outside tables are. The live music was fantastic. - Marie
My wife and I were celebrating our 6th year anniversary and we had a very relaxing experience. The staff were all very friendly. The only issue we had was that the umbrellas did not offer enough shade. - Daniel
Thank you, Viljoensdrift, we've had an amazing, awesome time on the cruise. Lots of photos taken to proof the fun we've had! I will recommend this experience to my few and family, for it as indeed how wine and dine should be!! Thank you to Sophia as well for her efficiency and friendliness!! - Viola
