Click thumbnail to enlarge

Our family warmly invite you to share with us the spirit of the Cape Winelands in Paarl.Surrounded by fruit trees and vineyards, De Leeuwenhof Estate, is an idyllic country destination only 35 minutes from Cape Town.

Discover our working wine farm, established in 1698, absorb the ancient atmosphere of a time gone by and understand why our ancestors fell in love with this beautiful part of Africa

The family consists of Daan and Yvonne van Leeuwen Boomkamp with their two children Stefan and Tessa, some dogs and the family cat.

Drawn by adventure and driven by a quest to seek new boundaries, the van Leeuwen Boomkamp’s can tell out of own experience how one can fall in love with this ancient part of South Africa and how one feels linked to the Dutch ancestors who planted the roots for nowadays society.

On the farm we find 3500 fruit trees which are being hand-picked from March until September on a daily basis and in January and February the delicate wines are harvested.

We find nice Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cape-Riesling on the farm and when asked for, every visitor gets to attend a private tour by the farmer and if one whishes one gets to ride a tractor or quad. Recently, the owners have started with planting Giant Bamboo on the farm for commercial purposes and between 6-12 laborers work daily on the farm.

Most people really like the peace and quietness on the farm and as we see many bird and animal live around the premises, animal and bird lovers will not be disappointed.
