Franschhoek has become known as the food and wine capital of the country. This is not surprising when eight of the top one hundred restaurants are located in the valley, including the Chef of the Year two years running. The talent in the valley continues to climb to new heights, with a number of past chefs being drawn back to the valley where they made their names to open up new temples of gastronomy.

Breath-taking scenery, warm hospitality, world class cuisine and the some of the finest Cape wines are a few reasons why visitors return time and time again. This is the outrageously beautiful Franschhoek Valley in the heart of the Cape Winelands.

Vineyards cover these spectacular mountain slopes settled more than 300 years ago by the Huguenots, who brought with them their age-old French wine and food culture. This is a valley rich in history, centered around an historic and picturesque village of friendly, welcoming people.
