    Boschendal: Oldest Huguenot Estate Still Making Wine

    Jacques de Villiers bought this from his brother Abraham's estate -- the farm next door was literally called "Champagne." The Cape Dutch werf dates to 1685. Picnic on the lawn under 330-year-old oaks where three Huguenot brothers once dreamed of the vineyards they'd left behind in France.
