I think this might be the most beautiful place on earth. Incredible views. Add you can rent bikes too. Lovely old heritage that has been preserved.
Farm lawn picnics and trail rides by the water
Boschendal Wine Estate Dam is an outdoor picnic ground in Simondium on the historic farm property. We host open-air lawn picnics featuring seasonal food baskets alongside views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards. Our grounds connect directly to mountain biking and walking trails running across the estate, with on-site bicycle rentals available for exploring the property. Visitors can also explore the estate shop, attend Friday night markets on the Werf, or take part in our Saturday Wine & Wander Safari.

We had a wonderful stay at Boschendal, staying in Cottage 1685. The cottage was beautiful, comfortable, spotless, and surrounded by stunning scenery, making it the perfect place to unwind. The breakfast each morning was delicious, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a great selection of options. One of the highlights of our stay was the bike ride around the estate. The trails are well maintained and offer breathtaking views of the vineyards and mountains. It’s a fantastic activity for both families and couples. A special thank you to our host, Max, for the warm hospitality and for making sure everything was perfect throughout our stay. We’d also like to thank the chef for the amazing breakfasts and wonderful food. Boschendal offers so much more than wine—beautiful nature, excellent food, outdoor activities, and a peaceful atmosphere. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning.
Great stop! Service was horribly slow at the restaurant. The shop was fantastic. There are better options in my opinion
ARUM @Boschendal. A lovely place for a delicious lunch and wine. Very attentive staff with good recommendations for food and wine. We'll come back soon👍🏼😀
