The Bosman family have been vine growers for eight generations, and this farm exudes history. The Tasting Room, part of the original 270-year-old cellar, welcomes visitors with beautifully kept gardens and handcrafted wines.
Oenophiles will be amazed to discover the new-to-SA varietal, Sicilian Nero d’Avola, and Fides, an orange wine made with skin-on white grenache grapes – alongside cabernet, cinsaut, a chenin cap classique and the Optenhorst very-old-vine chenin blanc.
Weekday visitors can wander through the ancient cellar “museum” – if you look down through a framed patch of glass flooring, you’ll see where the old wine vats once stood.
The food Dalewood cheese platters and bitterballen to accompany the wine-tasting.
Opening times Monday – Thursday, 9am – 5pm
Friday, 9am – 4.30pm
Saturday, 10am – 4pm
