Franschhoek wine route & estates
The culinary jewel of the Cape
Renowned as the culinary jewel of the Cape Winelands, Franschhoek blends European elegance with South African charm among vineyard-draped mountains.
The valley in detail
Established in 1688 by French Huguenot refugees, Franschhoek blends European elegance with South African charm. Surrounded by dramatic peaks and rolling vineyards, this is a place where history, culture, and gastronomy converge. The valley is home to the oldest Semillon vines in the country and the celebrated Cap Classique Route. Beyond wine, Franschhoek is home to many of South Africa's Top 20 restaurants, from La Petite Colombe to Babylonstoren's farm-to-fork philosophy.
