Franschhoek Wine Route
The fertile Franschhoek valley is the place where the French first made wine in South Africa, 300 years ago, and it continues to produce world class wines to this day. From outstanding whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon and Chenin Blanc to the decadent reds of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Merlot, this wine route has it all.
The wine estates in the Franschhoek valley offer everything from authentic 18th century buildings, underground cellars, light lunches, delightful tasting rooms and horse trails through the vineyards to remarkable wines. You may also enjoy elegant French cuisine surrounded by magnificent mountain views.
