Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making.

In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier.

    An excellent and informative cellar tour and tasting given by the charming wine maker. Delicious wines tasted in a beautiful tasting room. We went straight to Franschhoek afterwards to buy bottles of the Chocolate Block.

    Fantastic tour and tasting with a member of the production team. Really interesting insights into the process, the winery’s philosophy and the range of wines. Worth the advance booking.
