We’re raising our glasses to South Africa’s Boschendal Wine Estate which beat many gorgeous wine farms for the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Vineyard’ spot!
Franschhoek, South Africa (01 June, 2023) — Adding another notch to South Africa’s belt in global recognitions, Franschhoek’s gorgeous Boschendal vineyard has been dubbed the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Vineyard’.
Beating numerous other wine farms for the coveted spot (including the likes of the Champagne region in France), Boschendal was deemed the champion of vineyard aesthetics.
The Wine World Has Spoken
CV Villas went through an extensive process to deem the top dogs in wine. First, by studying the top 50 red, white, rosé and sparkling wines themselves. Then, by cross-referencing them with their average score to discover their home regions.
Soon, the 200 champions of wine were revealed and yes, Champagne certainly sparkled on the top Wine Destinations List.
However, beyond taste, many vineyards are known for their viewing pleasure; their ability to make us feel like we’re walking through a daydream. So, using Instagram data, wine investigators discovered which vineyards around the world had people drinking in the views based on how many times the vineyards had been shared on the platform.
Cheers, Boschendal!
“The vineyard claiming the prize as the most beautiful in the world is Boschendal, in South Africa’s Cape Wineland district, which has been shared with the world 95,501 times,” shared CV Villas of the winner.
Boschendal has been around since 1685, known for its many charms. Lush greenery, flower fields and quaint Dutch buildings brushed against the backdrop of surrounding mountains are just some of its sweet spots amid the wine, of course.
While Boschendal took first prize, other South African wine farms also made the list including: Tokara Winery, Waterkloof and Spier Wine Farm.
Meanwhile, in other cheers-worthy news, Plettenberg Bay recently earned Whale Heritage Site status (one of only seven in the world), and over 80 South African restaurants took the cake in the global Restaurant and Bar Awards!
