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.

    Our most immersive wine tasting yet in Franschhoek! This is a personal experience that is very different than the big wineries where you are one of hundreds. Small-group tour of the winemaking facilities and intimate tasting experience with excellent wines. This is a must-do to mix in to your Franschhoek experience.

    This was great experience to understand the Boekenhoutskloof wines and history led by one of their lead winemakers. This was a truly immersive experience and a really nice wine tasting.

    The service was perfect,and the explanation of the production process of the best wines I've ever tasted was excellent. The wines selected for the tasting were superb! An incredible experience!
