Overview
As the Food and Wine Capital of South Africa, Franschhoek is celebrated for its stunning wine farms and restaurants – and, of course, its spectacular mountain views. But Franschhoek is not only more beautiful than you can imagine, it’s more interesting than you might expect.
On the Franschhoek Wine Walk – as we wander through orchards, vineyards and gardens – we delve into five famous characters who have shaped the Franschhoek Valley – referred to today as the Valley of Dreams. We track the fascinating lives of these dreamers, from the first Khoisan huner-gatherers, to the French Huguenot settlers to the celebrity chefs who call Franschhoek home today.
We start in the town centre, but quickly slip into the surrounding farmland and country lanes. The panoramic views and curated gardens are a major highlight of the tour.
As you might expect, Franschhoek has some of the best wine and produce in the country. The walk culminates with a scrumptious farm-style lunch of assorted salads and mains under oak trees at La Cotte Heritage Farm.
