Why visit Boschendal
A one-stop Winelands day — cellar tasting, a formal lunch at the Werf restaurant, a casual Deli stop or a lawn picnic in season.
Some of the best-preserved Cape Dutch buildings in the country, set in landscaped gardens with the Groot Drakenstein mountain as backdrop.
Where Boschendal is
On the R310 Helshoogte Road between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, about 55 minutes east of Cape Town.
What to expect
Cellar tastings, food-and-wine pairings, the Werf restaurant, the Deli, and famous summer picnics on the lawn (season-dependent).
Farm shop, tractor rides in season, gardens and easy walks around the historic werf.
How to include Boschendal in a Wanderer private tour
Boschendal is a natural anchor on a Wanderer private wine tour — usually paired with one Franschhoek estate or with Babylonstoren for a Simonsberg loop.
Practical tips
- Book restaurants and picnics well in advance in summer.
- Comfortable shoes for the werf walk.
