With majestic mountains on the one side and the
ever-flowing Breede River on the other, with beautiful fruit and
wine farms lining the way, the awe-inspiring surroundings invite you
into Bonnievale to meet the people who pride themselves on their
warmth and unpretentious hospitality. Bonnievale is situated on the
banks of the Breede River. Surrounded by the Langeberg Mountain
Range in the north-east, and the Riviersonderend mountains in the
south-west, it is one of the most beautifully situated towns in the
Western Cape. The town is approximately 180km from Cape Town and
100km from the southernmost tip of Africa at Cape
Agulhas.
Bonnievale is known as The Valley of Cheese and Wine for
a good reason. There are 4 Co-operative Wine Cellars, 4 Estates and
2 private wine producers in the area. The oldest wine cellar in the
Bonnievale area is Nordale Wine Cellar. The Robertson Wine Route,
which includes all the wine cellars in the Bonnievale area, has in
recent years won great acclaim in South Africa and around the world,
for the production of outstanding white and red wines.
