Having been dubbed the Gourmet Capital of South Africa, Franschhoek’s food and wine route is beyond compare. The Valley of the Huguenots, as Franschhoek is also known, (a mere 50 minutes’ scenic drive from Cape Town) became home to a community of French Huguenots who fled their country from religious persecution. They soon recognised that this valley had very similar weather to the wine growing regions in France. Since then Franschhoek has been one of South Africa’s chief wine-making regions for over the past three centuries, and this history permeates every element of the town. Some of the farms here date back many generations and exude an old-world charm, while others are modern and chic. This private wine tour will visit at least three of the fabulous wine producers of this region.

I had an absolutely amazing time on the Franschhoek Wine Tour. Great wineries and wines we had. Kimmi, who was my wine specialist guide, was an extremely jolly person to be with. Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. If you are looking for a personalized experience, this is the way to go. Will definitely come back to you again on my next trip to South Africa! 10/10
