Boschendal

Why it’s worth it

Boschendal packs a lot into one estate: seasonal lawn picnics, tastings at the Werf and Cellar Door, a Farm Shop and Butchery, and guided one-hour horse rides. Cottage 1685 was designed by Herbert Baker, and garden tours cover the farm's history and regenerative practices. Saturday sundowner picnics and a Friday night market add evening options.
