With award-winning restaurants and over 50 wineries peppered throughout the village and its surrounds, Franschhoek has something to please even the pickiest gourmand.
For organic farm-to-table dining, head to Babylonstoren where all the ingredients have been plucked straight from their sprawling garden. Sample the local salmon trout at La Petite Ferme, or enjoy a picnic on the Holden Manz Wine Estate.
But what’s good food without fine wine? The serendipitous combination of the valley’s Mediterranean-like climate and 300-year-old wine-making tradition has given rise to several internationally acclaimed wine estates. Semillon, chardonnay, and cabernet sauvignon are the signature cultivars, but the valley’s Methode Cap Classique wines (South African sparkling wines made in the traditional champagne-style) are also equally unmissable. In fact, a total of 18 Franschhoek wineries produce MCC – enough to create a Cap Classique Route. For a unique wine tour, hop on and off the Franschhoek Wine Tram or explore the valley’s wineries on horseback.
