Timeless country style at Boschendal
Place De Boschendal : Article information – 082 373 3446.
Treat your family to a day out in timeless country style at Boschendal in the Western Cape. From its origins as a private estate of renown to its rebirth as a great destination for wine, food and good living, Boschendal prides itself on being the epitome of country living.
Now, Place de Boschendal continues the tradition with a French-style farmers market in the historic courtyard on Saturdays, from 9am to 5pm.
Taste and buy a range of fresh seasonal produce – with the emphasis on fruit and vegetables that are organic whenever possible, along with artisan bread, local cheeses, beautiful confectioneries, fine oils, spices and homemade preserves.
Just like in the old days, you are able to talk to the producers, learn about their goods and know that your purchases are fresh and delicious.
Begin by enjoying a steaming hot artisan coffee while enjoying a fresh baguette or croissant and then wandering around the bustling stalls selecting products like cured salmon, a selection of cheeses from the local fromagerie, and high quality meats.
Afterwards, relax and enjoy a picnic lunch with Boschendal wines.
Little ones will be entertained in the dedicated children’s area while you have time to engage in a time-honoured bout of boulle or croquet.
The market will also be open on Christmas Eve, so you can do your last-minute shopping for homemade goodies.
