About the destination: Tucked between towering mountains in the stunning Cape winelands is the magnificent Franschhoek Valley.

This is a valley steeped in history, centered around a charming village of friendly, welcoming locals. The impressive array of visitor accommodations ranges from globally recognized inns and guest houses to self-catering cottages on wine farms and much more. In the village, you'll discover wonderful crafts, art, and antique shops and galleries. The main street is dotted with coffee shops and restaurants. Only 45 minutes from Cape Town, Franschhoek is the perfect base for exploring the entire Cape winelands. Historical and Cultural Heritage Following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in France in 1685, when Protestantism was banned, hundreds of so-called Huguenots fled their homeland, with 277 of them arriving by ship at the Cape of Good Hope. Many were granted land by the Dutch government in a valley named Oliphantshoek (Elephant’s Corner) – named for the vast herds of elephants that once roamed the area. Shortly after settling here, it became known as Franschhoek (French Corner). This heritage continues today with the Huguenot monument standing proudly at the top of the village. The nearby museum chronicles the history of these brave pioneers, with each of the original Huguenot farms having its own captivating story to share. Wonderful Wines As you drive into Franschhoek, you'll notice that most of the farms still bear their original French names and typically feature a stunning Cape Dutch homestead, towering oaks, and lush vineyards. There are a variety of cellars, from small boutique wineries catering to those seeking something unique, to large cellars offering organized tours and guided tastings. The Gourmet Capital Depending on the year, up to eight of South Africa’s “Top 100” restaurants are in Franschhoek – the country's gourmet capital. Leading chefs create everything from world-class cuisine to light meals using the freshest produce of the valley, complemented by the wonderful local wines. Take your time and enjoy the hospitality, atmosphere, and variety of our many excellent restaurants.
