Wine & Dine
Franschhoek, near Paarl, is one of the premier destinations in the World of Wine not only for its spectacular beauty but also for its high quality, award-winning wines. With its French wine heritage and excellent climate this valley became one of the earliest wine producing regions in the Cape. Today, this noble tradition is continued by the members of the Vignerons de Franschhoek, an association of twenty-one wine farmers (including some of South Africa's most respected winemakers) who produce many of the country's finest red, white and sparking wine.
But Franschhoek's finer tastes don't end with wine. The picturesque valley also offers some of South Africa's most acclaimed restaurants and with everything from delicious Cape country fare to sublime French cuisine, it's not surprising that the area if known as the "Wine and Food Capital of the Cape". There's a menu here for every taste, and every pocket.
