Boschendal welcomes the crisp, golden hues of winter in the winelands with a mouth-watering selection of authentic farm experiences during this year’s Boschendal Citrus Festival.
The Boschendal Citrus Festival 2023 will take place from 15 June – 30 July 2023, with a range of special events and farm activities to suit every taste.
On 24 June and 15 July, guests are invited to join Boschendal’s expert farming team on an authentic Citrus Picking Experience in the farm’s historic orchards.
In addition, Boschendal is hosting a morning market next to the orchards on both dates, with a selection of delicious, citrus inspired food, award winning Boschendal wines, and a selection of clothing and jewellery stalls, with tractor rides and face painting for kids.
On Saturday 22 July, guests can take part in the Squeeze, Zest and Preserve Workshop, where Brenda from Brenda’s Preserves will teach the finer art of using farm-fresh citrus to make glühwein, marmalade, and cordial. For those with culinary interests at heart, the Citrus Masterclass chef demonstration experience and 5 course lunch, promises an unmissable experience. Guests will gain first-hand experience of how to make a seasonal, citrus inspired meal using farm-fresh citrus from the nearby orchards. Offering a rare opportunity to enter the farm kitchen and see the expert culinary team at work.
Finally, the Citrus Festival will culminate in a Long Table Lunch on July 30th with a three-course menu inspired by the finest tastes from this year’s harvest, hosted in the cosy indoor confines of the Olive Press venue.
