Wine farms don't just have to be about grown-ups drinking wine; kiddies can equally have a good time. This Youth Day, while the adults sip on a glass or two of wine, the young ones can have an adventure on the fun playgrounds of these seven wine estates:
A bit outside of Cape Town, but definitely worth the drive, is Boschendal in Franschhoek. This is the ultimate destination for families who love to be active outdoors. Parents who are looking for a wine tasting have several options to choose from, including a wine and chocolate pairing.is also ready to feed hungry customers, or there’s the option to book a picnic online and relax on the beautiful Pavilion lawns.
For the more adventurous guests, Boschendal has many great outdoor activities on offer. Family members who love mountain biking or hiking can explore the beautiful farm scenery on any of the available routes; however, mountain bikers must first obtain a permit to gain access to the trails.If you’re feeling truly brave, leave the bicycle at home and experience the farm on horseback instead. Boschendal offers one-hour horseback outrides for riders of all levels.
If horses, hikes and bikes sound too adventurous, though, definitely visit the Tree House, a beautifully designed outdoor playground. Here, little ones can explore acorn hideouts, slides, walkways, platforms, mushroom pods, pyramids, and a MTB pump track. And finally, kids between the ages of five and fourteen are also welcome to have a fun learning experience with Boschendal’s Outdoor Experience.
