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.

    Godfry was truly magnificent, informative, and friendly! The entire venue is beautiful, and the wines are absolutely decadent!! So happy that I have perched in the early morning hours of eastern standard time of the United States to get into this wine tasting!

    What a fabulous vineyard and wine tour. We had been on a few wine tours and tastings in Franschhoek and this was simply the best. Our tour guide was great, the cellars amazing and the wine top class. Would definitely recommend if you get the chance.

    This was the highlight of our trip to Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. Fascinating tour around the amazing winery and the wine tasting was a special experience. Chocolate Block for the win. Highly recommended!
