The rest of the group will meet up with you after lunch at Franschhoek Country House and Villas and we will then freshen up for our fist winery visit and dinner together.
We have three nights and two full extraordinary days packed with unique experiences of meeting our personal local friends, winemakers, chefs, walking in the vineyards, tasting the incredible local flavors and learning from the local industry's top resources. All wineries we visit, restaurants and experiences have been hand picked personally to showcase the best of the cape Winelands. Our first evening will be spent having dinner at one of our favorite wineries.
The restored manor house and former perfumery dating back to 1890, is situated on the outskirts of the village and is surrounded by enchanting vineyards and majestic mountains. An hour's drive from Cape Town makes it the perfect getaway for anyone visiting the Western Cape.
The Country House and Villas offers 14 luxury rooms and 12 Villas Suites. All the rooms offer features and facilities expected of a first class hotel. Almost all rooms lead out onto private balconies or private patio with magnificent views. The Villa Suites are very luxurious, each a 100sqm in size and boasts a fireplace, dvd player, individual satellite tv, 2 airconditioners, 2 balconies, and many more unexpected luxuries!
During summer, guests laze at one of the two pools (one heated) with beautiful mountain vistas, visit the boutique wine-farms in Franschhoek, or stroll in the charming town found by the French Huguenots.
The in house Monneaux restaurant, voted as one of South Africa's Top Restaurants, has become known for its innovative Modern French Cuisine. A-la-Carte lunches are served on the magnificent new fountain terrace whilst dinner is served in the understated, yet elegant, dining room or enclosed verandah. The wine list emphasizes local wines that can also be enjoyed by the glass in the cozy wine bar or underground cellar.
Attention to detail and friendly personal service completes the experience at this fine country retreat.
