Together with two neighbours Villiera set aside 230 Ha of land to form a Wildlife Sanctuary for game. These conservation efforts take place alongside a determined indigenous tree-planting project. Over 100,000 indigenous trees have been planted to green fallow land and to mitigate our carbon footprint.
The Sanctuary includes 12 dams plus marsh areas which attract a huge variety of bird-life. Indigenous trees are grown in old milk containers, plastic water bottles etc. by our staff and then bought from them when a year old and planted out. Thousands of indigenous trees have also been donated by the Cape Garden Centre.
A number of mammals have been introduced in the Wildlife Sanctuary:
Springbuck, Kudu, Giraffe, Bontebok, Eland, Gemsbok, Black Wildebeest, Bush Pig, Burchell’s Zebra, common Duiker, Steenbuck, Waterbuck and Grysbok.

Included in the camp is a 1 hour  wine tasting at The Wine Sanctuary. Outside there is a terrace area under the shade of some very old oak trees where you can enjoy an outdoor wine tasting (weather permitting).

The Villiera vineyards are run by Cobus Van Schalkwyk, assisted by vineyard managers Christie Franse and Wayne Daniels (with Simon Grier in consultation). The vineyards are approximately 170 hectares in extent and yields are a conservative 8 tons per hectare to ensure fruit quality.
