Harvest Festival 2009

Kick off your working shoes and enjoy a leisurely festive summer lunch set against the backdrop of elegant Cape Dutch buildings, spreading oaks and soaring mountains.

The Bosman Family invite you to a celebration of wholehearted country food paired with our boutique-style wines in the captivating Bovlei Valley. Savour the slow beat of ambient live music, play the ancient game of boules, take a cellar tour or watch the kids enjoy a pony ride and play in the supervised kiddies areas. Our very long, Long Lunch, is set to linger on and on with fond memories of friendship, laughter and delight for some time to come…

Harvest Festival 2008

The successful harvest was celebrated by participating in the 2008 Wellington Harvest Festival. Bosman Family Vineyards said thank you in a festive manner by opening their gates for a connoisseur picnic, wine tastings and informative cellar tour hosted by Corlea and Petrus. Family and friends came together to enjoy the picturistique surrounding, sipping wine, and just relaxing to the tunes of a live band under the lush big oak trees - it was a great weekend!

Cellar Opening 2007

Last year was a profound year for the wine family at Bosman Family Vineyards. Our perfectly restored brand new cellar opened its doors at the beginning of November – 51 years after the last wine was made on this farm.
 
A lot went into this project so close to our hearts. It was an emotional journey seeing this historic cellar dating back 250 years, slowly changing shape by the renovation process. It now boasts a state-of-the-art cellar where our proud legacy of eighth generations can continue to make premium wines.

On the first of November 2007, the cellar doors offisially opened and was celebrated by friends, family, media and everyone who assisted in the restoration.
