Bonnievale is Uniquely Magical
The Robertson Wine Valley region was established in 1983 to create a cohesive wine-tourism destination. Today, dramatic mountain ranges, the steady flow of the Breede River Valley, rich agricultural soils, and an unhurried lifestyle make Bonnievale a true standout.

- Vineyards & wines: From historic local cooperative cellars to boutique estates, Bonnievale forms part of the certified Wine of Origin “Bonnievale” region within the greater Robertson district.
- Cheese farms & rural charm: Agriculture here goes far beyond grapes; you’ll discover cheese factories, orchards, and plenty of riverside experiences.
- River & nature escapes: The Breede River offers boat cruises, tranquil picnics, and sweeping wild scenery that feels worlds away from any rush.
