ICONIC HERITAGE,
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

Boschendal (Dutch for bush and dale) is one of the oldest Wine Estates in South Africa and is located between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch in South Africa’s Western Cape. This iconic wine farm is nestled in one of the most picturesque valleys in the Cape Winelands.

Produce premium wines of unwavering exceptional quality. Have dedicated red and white winemakers in separate cellars for focused expertise. Place emphasis on intensity of flavour and mouth feel. Further our special focus on Chardonnay and Shiraz varieties. Be a leader in the production of Cap Classique sparkling wines. Invest in oak from top coopers with judicious wood regimes for added intrigue but never overpowering.

With a winemaking tradition spanning over 340 years, Boschendal Wine Estate offers a veritable treat for wine lovers everywhere. At Boschendal we believe wine is made in the vineyards. We take the utmost care to find specific terroir-driven sites best suited for our cultivars. We have made it our priority to embrace sustainability techniques across both our farm and cellar practices in order to retain the country’s exceptional biodiversity and to empower the teams that work within it.

At Boschendal teamwork is essential. We all strive for the same goal which is creating exceptional, memorable wines. When you drink a glass of Boschendal we want you to taste the view, taste the lifestyle and taste excellence. We strive for perfection and aspire to always improve.

For 340 years, Boschendal has stood as a testament to mastery — of the land, the vine and the art of gathering. Since 1685, this pioneering estate has been both a name and a place where time, terroir and talent converge; each generation shaping the next with vision and care.

Beneath the watchful slopes of the Simonsberg, between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, Boschendal’s story began with Jean le Long and was nurtured by Nicolas de Lanoy, whose first vines took root in this fertile valley. The de Villiers family carried the torch for more than a century, raising the Cape Dutch manor — today a National Heritage Monument — as a beacon of endurance and artistry. Through the era  of fruit farming, the trials of phylloxera and beneath the ancient oak adjacent to the Rhône Homestead that still whispers of time, Boschendal has remained a place where heritage and nature entwine.

Restored and reawakened in 1976, the estate was renewed with purpose. Renowned for crafting premium, terroir-driven wines from vineyards planted in sites chosen to truly express their individuality, Boschendal’s iconic and globally recognised portfolio now extends beyond the farm.
