Franschhoek is world-renowned for its spectacular beauty, superb Cape wines and world class restaurants…our village of Franschhoek is a definite must-visit destination on any trip to the Western Cape of South Africa.
Founded in 1688 by French Huguenots, our scenic gem nestles in a rich and fertile valley…between glorious towering mountains, right in the beautiful Heart of the Cape Winelands.
Franschhoek is a wine-lover's delight… the valley has a deep vigneron tradition, dating back to the 16th century. Some of South Africa's oldest and most famous wine estates are found here. These Grand Old Cape-Dutch farmhouses and wine stores have watched proudly over the land for centuries; and the Vineyards & Wine Estates still produce some of South Africa's top wines today.
Food connoisseurs and gourmands will find a delicious choice of restaurants in and around the village. Many of these eateries are award-winning and widely acclaimed, both internationally and locally. In season (Oct – Feb), it is wise to book your table.
