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.

Franschhoek Reviews
Always a pleasure to go to a beautiful, clean well-run town. You can walk the town & find great restaurants, interesting shops & even play boules.
The Wine Train for sure
So many wonderful places to eat including lovely outdoor courtyards with live music; lovely bespoke shops plus some necessities like Clicks; incredible world-class wine estates with wine tasting & pairing experiences and the wine tram; lovely accommodation well-tiered; safe to walk around. For an outstanding experience and meal I would recommend La Petite Colombe on Leeu estates.
The view, the quietness, the restaurants,, the wine estates.
Wine tasting trains and trams. Scenery and location.
The relaxed vibe...
Clean, feels safe and beautiful views and hikes.
The village vibe and how safe it is. Also, everyone can walk to where they want to go, instead of getting into a car every time.
Weather, shops, restaurants. Access to vineyards, trips, park run.
Holiday atmosphere without crowded chaos.
