Boschendal is a winery in Simondium situated along Helshoogte Road. Our estate welcomes day visitors and overnight guests, offering dedicated spaces for wine tastings alongside our casual Deli Cafe with outdoor seating.
Guests can stop by our on-site bakery, farm shop, and gift store, or set out across the property using designated hiking trail permits.
We visited as day visitors. We were not residents. We visited the Deli Cafe and sat outside and had tea and cakes which was lovely. We had a stroll around the gift shop and the farm shop. We bought the hiking permit and did the easy hiking trail but we were not impressed because the map and the signposting are not good. Also, having just gone around the Garden Route, we had done many more impressive walks. There were at least two settings for wine tasting and these looked very enticing but we did not have time to do them. All staff whom we spoke to were friendly and helpful.

Just finished an incredible couple of nights at your property, we've had an absolutely faultless experience and are blown away by everything. A special thank you to Leonay for making it so memorable, she was extremely friendly and organised everything for whilst we were here. Would highly recommend!!!

We only stopped for a glass of wine, but really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the estate. The restaurant itself is beautiful, although we didn’t eat there. The bar is very pleasant, and the terrace overlooking the vegetable garden with the mountains in the background is a lovely place to relax.

An unforgettable experience at Boschendal Wine Estate — and a special shoutout to Jeff!
My visit to Boschendal was an absolutely fantastic experience. The estate itself is beautiful, the wine is exceptional, and the entire atmosphere makes you appreciate the incredible history and heritage behind one of South Africa’s most iconic wine estates.
But what really made my visit memorable was meeting Jeff.
After learning that I was a descendant of the de Villiers family, Jeff went completely above and beyond and generously gave me a free wine crate. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture, and one I certainly won’t forget.
What impressed me even more, though, was Jeff’s knowledge. This man knew more about the wines, the estate, and the history than the actual wine connoisseur! His passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge were immediately obvious, and he has a natural ability to make you feel welcome while genuinely teaching you something.
Honestly, Jeff deserves a promotion. He is the kind of employee who is an asset to any business and, frankly, to any future endeavour he chooses to pursue. People like him are what turn a good experience into an unforgettable one.
Thank you to Boschendal for an amazing visit, and especially to Jeff for making it such a memorable experience. I will absolutely be back — and I hope Boschendal knows what a gem they have in Jeff!
10/10 — highly recommended.
