Heritage Weekend Events at Boschendal Wine Farm

Franschhoek’s esteemed estate is celebrating National Braai Day in a proudly SA way!

With spectacular scenery and a rich history, Franschhoek’s Boschendal wine farm is well worth a visit on any day of the year, but there’s really no finer time to swing by than over the Heritage Day weekend. On Saturday, 24 September 2016, the age-old estate is hosting an assortment of family-friendly activities in celebration of National Braai Day.

Ox Braai Farm Feast at the Boschendal Manor House Lawn

On the public holiday itself, a long communal table will be set up under ancient oak trees in the winery’s charming farmyard, and friends and families will be invited to settle in and enjoy a jolly open-air braai banquet. The lunch menu will feature pasture-reared Angus ox, spiced and slowly roasted on an open spit, as well as plates heaped with home-grown seasonal vegetables and salads, and a selection of desserts. Not to mention, the nose-to-tail meat offering will go down swimmingly with glasses of Boschendal’s award-winning wines.

Local musician Blair Taberer will lay the backbeat for a festive dining experience, and kiddies can join in on the fun too – there’ll be a separate table laid out for the little ones as well as a menu designed for smaller tummies.

Boschendal Garden Tour at the Werf Garden

Fancy yourself a bit of a horticulturalist? Neither do we, but everybody loves a bit of fresh farm produce, so let the Werf Garden Manager Megan McCarthy take your on a magical tour of Boschendal’s breath-taking vegetable garden. You will even have the opportunity to pick and purchase some veggies to take home with you.

Franschhoek Uncorked Festival

Over Heritage Day weekend, the valley’s annual celebration opens for all those adventurous wine lovers. Franschhoek is transformed into a playground for lovers and appreciators of Cape Town’s most beloved drink. Boschendal have got some specials on offer for the visitors that are part of the Uncorked festival. In celebration of #Braai4Heritage, Boschendal are offering some scrumptious meals including Angus beef burgers and shiraz pork sausages; what else do you expect from Braai Day? There will also be stalls, games, kids entertainment and plenty of wine!
