About
Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making.
In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier.

Grow up and watch out!
Ah, 1997 - what a time to be alive! The Spice Girls were blasting from every radio, Leonardo DiCaprio was plastered on every teen girl's wall, and Ally McBeal was showing us that lawyers could have some serious groove. Life? It was golden.
It was also the era when virtual pets like Tamagotchis invaded schools, driving teachers mad as kids tried to keep their tiny pixel pets alive. Who had time for maths when their virtual dino was starving?
Fast forward to 2024, and, well, things have definitely changed. Now, we're the ones trying to stay healthy and in check and keep ourselves alive - with a little help from gadgets like the 44mm Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. Look at us, nailing this adulting thing!
