Area Info
Franschhoek, often referred to as the French corner of the Cape, is nestled in one of the most picturesque wine valleys globally, just 45 minutes from Cape Town and close to several renowned wine routes like Stellenbosch, Paarl, Wellington, and Somerset West. Known as South Africa's food and wine capital, this charming town boasts eight of the country’s top 100 restaurants, nearly 30 wine estates, and over 28 dining options for an exceptional culinary experience.
The valley has recently introduced a Cap Classique route, featuring nine wineries within 4 km, offering visitors a chance to learn about the unique production of South Africa’s famous sparkling wine. Steeped in history, Franschhoek was originally the Valley of the Huguenots, named after the French Protestants who settled here in the 17th century, bringing with them a rich French heritage still reflected in the names of many wine estates and the striking Cape Dutch architecture.
