Not sure what to taste? Take the Bonnievale Wines quiz and find your glass
Bonnievale Wines sits on the R317 at the Bonnievale end of the valley, with a child-friendly tasting room and a shaded courtyard. Its wines come in two ranges: The River Collection for every day, and the Limited Release.
Wine Valley Safari can build this stop into a private or custom tour.
We book the tasting.
You choose the glass.
In the heart of the Robertson Valley
Marthinus Rademeyer, production manager and winemaker, leads the cellar team with winemakers Edwin Mathambo and Chris van Reenen. Christo Pienaar has been CEO since July 2023.
At the 2026 Michelangelo awards, the Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 and the River Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2026 and Chenin Blanc 2026 each won Gold. Bonnievale lists more on its awards page.
On a Wine Valley Safari
Bonnievale Wines isn’t on one of our scheduled tours, so we offer it as a private or custom Wine Valley Safari. Tell us the day and the size of your group, and we’ll plan the day and the other stops around it. Meeting points are 10h00 at Blou Pieke Boutique Hotel, 48 Long Street, Montagu, and 11h00 at Four Cousins, 54 Voortrekker Avenue, Robertson.
What to taste
Check out our Bonnievale Wines Wine Quiz here.
The River Collection has a Sauvignon Blanc, a Chenin Blanc, a Grenache Rosé, a sweet, lightly sparkling Rosé Moscato Perlé, and a Pinotage, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Limited Release range has a Sauvignon Blanc, a Chardonnay, a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Red Muscadel.
If you like your reds smooth, ask for the Pinotage. Your host will say what is open on the day. The full list is on the Bonnievale Wines shop.
A tasting room for families
Children are welcome in the tasting room, and the shaded courtyard is made for a slow glass. If lunch is on your safari, your host will plan it around the stop.
Two ranges, one cellar
The River Collection is the everyday range: fresh whites, a dry rosé, soft reds and a sweet sparkling. The Limited Release wines are made in smaller batches, and they are where the cellar’s recent medals have come from.
Hours, and how to find them
Tasting room: Monday to Friday 09h00–17h00, Saturday 10h00–13h00, public holidays 10h00–13h00. Closed on Sundays.
