ways to discover the true essence of the Franschhoek Valley
picturesque vineyards, breath-taking scenery, warm hospitality,
world-class cuisine, fine wines and a 300 year history.
Breath-taking scenery, warm hospitality, world-class cuisine and fine
wines: These are the hallmarks of the beautiful Franschhoek Valley in
the heart of the Cape Winelands. When the Huguenots first settled
in this spectacular valley over 300 years ago they bought with them
their traditions and knowledge in winemaking and viticulture from

one of the most beautiful valleys in the world. This proud heritage can
be seen and felt today in the Village and on the surrounding farms.

There are a variety of cellars, from small boutique wineries that cater
for those in search of something unique, to large cellars that offer
organised tours and conducted tastings. Award-winning wines range
from plump reds to elegant whites and delicious sparkling wines. This
