Nestled between towering mountains in the beautiful Cape winelands lies the magnificent Franschhoek Valley, a town in South Africa’s Western Cape with centuries-old vineyards and Cape Dutch architecture.

The fertile Franschhoek Wine Valley is home to some of South Africa’s noble cultivars and classic styles. These range from superb whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon and Chenin Blanc, to the full-bodied reds of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Merlot. The area also produces some of the country’s extraordinary Méthode Cap Classiques, South Africa’s take on Champagne.
