Great peace and lovely atmosphere reigns here.
Le Rhone House, one of several early 19th century buildings on the farm in the Cape Dutch style.
Cape Dutch architecture is a traditional Afrikaner architectural style found mostly in the Western Cape of South Africa.
The style was prominent in the early days (17th century) of the Cape Colony, and the name derives from the fact that the initial settlers of the Cape were primarily Dutch.
The style has roots in medieval Netherlands, Germany, France and Indonesia.
The farm's title deeds are dated 1685.
The estate's first owner, Jean le Long, was one of the party of 200 French Huguenot refugees who were fleeing religious persecution in Europe.
Boschendal is one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa and is located between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch in South Africa's Western Cape
The vineyards at Boschendal cover 2.54 km² between Groot Drakenstein and Simonsberg,
SUPERB white Chardonnay!!!
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)
