A lovely riverside stay with a private hot tub, beautiful oaks and a fire pit. Floating in the river and relaxing beside the evening fire were absolute bliss.

One of our favourite spots for sushi, with a scenic drive and beautiful mountain views. The vegetarian energy bomb was delicious, especially paired with a glass of wine.

There is so much more here than wine tasting, from inspiring art to lovely walks beneath huge oaks. We enjoyed generous glasses of wine with bread, cheese and savoury snacks.

Another dining option at La Motte if you're after a full, proper meal rather than a lighter bakery stop.

A beautiful lunch spot with sunshine filtering through the trees. Our pot chicken and Neapolitan pasta came with a glass of wine.

Come for the Friday night market's live music and varied food stalls, but leave time to explore the gardens. The earthworm sculpture and mushroom forest made for a wonderfully unexpected wander.

We found this indulgent dessert stop at Boschendal's market. The death by chocolate waffle, piled with melted Belgian chocolate, was quite a way to finish the evening.
