Franschhoek

The Cape’s French corner

First settled in 1688 by the French Huguenots, Franschhoek’s similarity to France extends beyond her rolling green vineyards and forest-filled mountains, to her superb choice of wines and world-class cuisine. Visiting Franschhoek is like walking into a secret garden where Cape Dutch features are intertwined with labyrinth-like alleyways and ‘little gem’ boutiques, all creating a magical atmosphere. This is enhanced, of course, with only the finest wine, and, for a touch of novelty, you can even try the first ever wine sorbet!
