Boschendal Farm

WORLD CLASS WORKING WINE ESTATE

One of the oldest farms in South Africa, founded 1685, the farm has grown with the passing centuries into a cherished source of wholesome produce, great wines and happy memories. Agriculture and a simple farm lifestyle is at the heart of Boschendal. 

Set in the Drakenstein Valley surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes, lush gardens and vines, the original farmstead complex is now a national monument with a rich and intriguing history of more than 300 years.
