A RICH HISTORY

EIKEHOF FARM was founded during the height of the DUTCH EAST INDIA TRADING COMPANY in 1791

In 1841, J. De Vos completed the construction of the farmstead, shaping the region’s agricultural landscape. Over the years, Eikehof Farm adapted to changing ownership and economic transitions. It transitioned to wine production in the late 19th century, contributing to Worcester’s reputation as a hub of viticulture.
