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.

    We have such a better appreciation for good quality wine. My wife and I had an unforgettable experience. It was outstanding. Great to meet the Boekenhoutskloof staff. Such an amazing farm and brilliant set up. We went home with 3 ‘The Chocolate Block’ wine bottles. Thank you so much!

    One of Franschhoek's best kept secrets - if you are lucky enough to get a space, you are in for a total treat. Blown away by the quality and generous nature of this experience.
