Best Food & Wine Experiences in Montagu & Robertson Valley

A destination defined by flavour

Montagu and the surrounding Robertson Wine Valley are known for their landscapes—but it’s the food and wine that truly define the experience.

From riverside picnics to in-house dining, here’s how to enjoy the region at its most delicious.

Riverside picnics and wine at Viljoensdrift

Few experiences feel as effortless as an afternoon at Viljoensdrift Wine Estate.

Start by selecting a picnic basket filled with fresh bread, local cheeses, and seasonal produce. Then step onto a river cruise along the Breede River.

It’s simple: good food, good wine, and uninterrupted views.

Guests can make use of an online booking system: www.viljoensdrift.co.za. Guests are welcome to make contact with Viljoensdrift for any additional information that they may need.

Wine tasting at Rietvallei

At Rietvallei Wine Estate, the experience is both historic and welcoming.

With over a century of winemaking behind it, the estate offers a range of wines—from crisp whites to full-bodied reds—paired perfectly with a generous cheese platter.

It’s the kind of place where one tasting easily turns into a long, relaxed afternoon.

In-house dining at In Abundance

Some of the best meals happen without leaving your accommodation.

At In Abundance, traditional South African dishes are prepared by an in-house chef, bringing a sense of home to every plate.

Expect meals like:

• Fragrant bobotie
• Fillet grilled to perfection
• Slow-cooked lamb potjie
• Freshly baked mosbolletjies
• Nostalgic dessert platters

It’s generous, comforting food designed to be shared.

Local suppliers that make a difference

Great food starts with great ingredients.

Producers like Serendipity focus on small-batch, high-quality products—from cured meats to artisanal bacon.

These local touches elevate every meal, adding authenticity and depth to the experience.
