Franschhoek

Nestled between the towering mountains in the stunning Cape Winelands you will find the magnificent Franschhoek Valley. The Franschhoek valley was first settled over 300 years ago by the French Huguenots, and its many guests houses, street cafes and award-winning restaurants still have an unmistakeable French character, as well as the many farms with French names.

The town offers antique stores, art galleries, bakeries and a chocolatier, not to mention some of the top restaurants, where the chef will present you with a mouth-watering meal at the end of a long day of tasting superb wines. Franschhoek has the perfect combination - fine wine and world class cuisine, a stay and experience that you will remember for a while.  Wine estates worth visiting include La Motte, Boschendal, Chamonix and Cabriere.
