The experience
About this tour
Spend a day in South Africa's food and wine capital. Our private Franschhoek wine tour takes you to three of the valley's most celebrated estates for tastings and pairings, surrounded by mountain-framed vineyards, Cape Dutch and French-influenced architecture, gardens and art.
The Franschhoek Valley was settled by French Huguenots in the late 1600s, and that heritage still shapes its wines, food and village. With your own guide and vehicle, you'll see the valley's highlights at a relaxed pace, with no driving and no group to keep up with.

Franschhoek is a valley you can hold in your head — one road, a ring of mountains, and more serious wine per kilometre than almost anywhere in the Cape.
What makes this day different
Why this tour
A valley, not a sprawl
Everything sits close together here, which means less time between tastings and more time at them. The route is compact, the scenery is constant and the day never feels like a drive.
Food is half the story
Franschhoek built its reputation on restaurants as much as cellars. A seated lunch is part of the day here rather than an afterthought, and it is why so many visitors name this valley their favourite.
Old and new together
The valley’s historic estates sit alongside small producers making some of the Cape’s most interesting white blends. A well-planned route gets you both in one afternoon.
Is this your kind of day?
Who it's for
Couples
The most romantic of the Winelands valleys, with lunch and mountain views built in.
White-wine drinkers
Chardonnay, Chenin and Cap Classique thrive here — bring a preference for whites and you will be rewarded.
Groups who like to eat
Anyone for whom the restaurant list matters as much as the wine list.
A tip from your guide
Do the most famous estate first, before the coach groups arrive mid-morning, then move to the smaller producers as the valley quietens down after lunch.
