The Cape Winelands
Boschendal is one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa and is located between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. This iconic wine farm is nestled in one of the most picturesque valleys in the Cape Winelands and has been producing wines for over 340 years.
Indulge in Boschendal’s award-winning wines and savour each sip at their idyllic tasting spot - The Cellar Door. Delight in seasonal platters and food-wine pairings, celebrating their generous farm-to-table ethos.
But it is not just about the wine-tasting, food also plays an important part. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon picnic on the lawns, featuring the best seasonal picnic baskets. Be sure to prebook your spot to enjoy a perfect outdoor experience! The Deli is an ideal spot for casual dining and enjoying hearty farm meals ranging from farm-style breakfasts to popular wood-fired pizzas for dinner. The menu features the best of what the seasons have to offer on the farm. Tucked away at the heart of the Retreat space, the Retreat Restaurant offers a laid-back dining experience with a focus on honest, seasonal food.
Guests can also experience exquisite views of the Franschhoek Valley as you explore the farm on foot or horseback.
With an emphasis on stylish simplicity, the cottages are ideal for authentic farm living with a contemporary feel. The accommodation options include the spectacular Mountain Villa, the historical Herbert Baker-designed Cottage 1685, the Cow Shed which is comfortably nestled in the corner of the farm, and the beautifully restored farm cottages in the Orchards, Werf and Retreat.
With open access to the working farm, guests are free to explore and discover everything Boschendal has to offer. Enjoy mountain biking and hiking trails, long afternoons sampling award-winning wines, browse the Farm and Homeware Shops and Gallery, and soak up the many opportunities to sit back, relax and breathe in the splendour of nature.
