Boschendal Wine Estate, Franschhoek

The Space

Boschendal provides a natural setting for any function or event.  Surrounded by the stunning Groot Drakenstein and Simonsberg mountains you will find a range of function venues to choose from to tailor your special event. Each beautiful space on the farm brings with it the opportunity to make lasting memories from small intimate gatherings to large celebrations and everything in between. All functions are catered by the in-house events team. Soil-to-fork menus use only the best quality seasonal ingredients sourced from our fields, gardens and local like-minded suppliers.

The Olive Press

It’s a large open space venue with wooden poplar trusses, a built-in fireplace and the main bar area. This venue has wooden sliding glass doors that entirely open up to a mosaic-tiled patio overlooking the picturesque Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountain ranges.  All functions offer delicious farm-to-table menus catered in-house by Executive Chef.  Up to 150 guests can be seated inside depending on the required layout. A further 80 guests can be seated in the adjoining covered outdoor veranda, weather permitting. To accommodate larger groups a marquee can be
placed on the Olive Press lawn (not supplied by venue).
