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 incredible experience, really special. 2 hours with Mark the founder himself, a great tour with interesting stories followed by an excellent tasting. We were fortunate enough to try some of the first older vintages to compare to some of our current favourite wines. I cannot believe it was free. This made our entire trip. We went to their shop in town invincible wines afterwards to stock up as we felt we should pay something and they had some hard to get older bottles in there.

    Superb experience that i would recommend to anyone who either has little wine knowledge or is an expert. The team went above and beyond and I've since purchased on of the reds from the tasting.

    It was a privilege to experience this tasting and cellar tour conducted by the wine maker. He was very informative (of course!) and the wines were delicious, particularly the Semillon for me. It is essential to book a date well in advance to enjoy the experience which is free and gives the chance to meet a modest genius.

    Really enjoyed the tour. Gottfried (obviously) knew his stuff, and was informative enough for the group. He answered any questions with detailed responses and the tasting itself was lovely. Would have been nice to try some different vintages at the same time (we did this with the cab sav) which would allow showcasing of the different composition of the blends or vintage impacts of single varietals
