Set between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, Boschendal is one of the Cape’s most iconic wine estates. Why visit Boschendal? With a history dating back to 1685, this grand farm seamlessly blends centuries of heritage with a fresh, modern energy, making it just as relevant today as it was over 300 years ago.
A Sparkling Legacy
Boschendal has built an impressive reputation for its Cap Classique, offering six different expressions that showcase elegance and precision. The standout is the Jean Le Long Prestige Cuvée Blanc de Blanc – a rare, refined sparkling wine made for those who truly appreciate craftsmanship in a glass. Crisp, complex and celebratory, it’s a favourite among Cap Classique lovers.
Tasting Under the Oaks
One of the best ways to experience Boschendal is at the Werf and Cellar Door, where tastings take place beneath towering oak trees. Pair your wines with a farm-fresh platter, or opt for one of the ever-popular chocolate, cheese or charcuterie pairings. It’s relaxed, scenic and perfectly suited to long, leisurely afternoons.
Wine and Wander Safari
If you’d like to explore more of the estate, Boschendal’s Wine and Wander Safari is a must. This guided three-hour experience takes you across the vast 1,900-hectare farm, combining walking, wildlife sightings, storytelling, and wine stops along the way. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the land while tasting wines in unexpected, beautiful settings.
Why Visit Boschendal?
Because it offers so much more than a tasting. Boschendal is about heritage you can feel, food you’ll remember, wines worth lingering over and landscapes that invite you to slow down and stay a little longer.
