A little about Boschendal
Dancing in vineland
The Soaring peaks of the Groot Drakenstein and Simonsberg mountains, lush valleys, neat rows of vineland heavy with grapes. In the green splendour of the winelands, 45 minutes from Cape Town, Franschoek stands out above all for the sheer natural beauty of its world-famous valley. And Boschendal Wine Estate is the jewel in its crown. One of South Africa's original wine farms dating back 300 years: historic architecture, imposing avenues of wise, old trees, sprawling lawns. Boschendal isn?t just the most perfect festival venue imaginable ? it?s a national treasure. And for three days in November, it?s all yours?
