The French Corner. Valley of Vines. Call it what you will, Franschhoek is a ‘must see’ for any traveller visiting Cape Town.
On the menu in Franschhoek are wine and champagne tasting and pairing, good food and breathtaking mountain views.
Whether visiting the region for one day or one week, you will not run out of things to do.
One of the most unique experiences is the hop-on, hop-off Franschhoek Wine Tram, and is arguably the best way to view the Cape winelands.
The tram departs from the centre of town and stops at each wine farm on its route.
Passengers jump off at whichever vineyard takes their fancy, and jump back on when they want to go on to the next one.`
There are eight lines to choose from, each visiting a selection of wine farms, showcasing different parts of the Valley of Vines.
After hopping off at a vineyard and tasting the wines it has to offer, you can either jump back onto the tram when it pulls up an hour later, or you can choose to stay on and wait for the next one.
There’s something for everyone’s tastes in Franschhoek, with the wine farms offering not only tastings, but also pairings – with biltong, cheese, chocolate or even nougat.
For lovers of sparkling wine, you can enjoy an oyster pairing with your brut.
And the more refined among us, many wine farms offer a high tea, complete with a glass of refreshing sparkling wine.
