Franschhoek Wine Valley Tourism
Nestled between mountains in the Cape winelands lies the magnificent Franschhoek Valley. This is the food and wine capital of the Winelands , where splendid wines are grown and our top chefs create international cuisine. Spectacular vineyards cover the mountain slopes settled more than 300 years ago by the Huguenots, who brought with them their age-old French wine and food culture. This is a valley rich in history centered around a picturesque village of friendly, welcoming people.
The wonderful spectrum of visitor accommodation ranges from internationally renowned hotels, auberges and guest houses to self-catering cottages on wine farms. In the village you will find wonderful crafts, art and antique shops and galleries. The main street is lined with coffee shops and restaurants. Only 45 minutes from Cape Town Franschhoek is the ideal base while you explore the entire Cape Winelands.
