Franschhoek Experience Days Vouchers
Situated in a picturesque valley just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town, Franschhoek is one of the oldest towns in South Africa and boasts some of the country’s most stunning scenery. Nestled at the foot of the mountains, it is spoilt with views of magnificent lofty peaks as well as being surrounded by scenic vineyards and the Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve. It’s centuries-old vineyards make Franschhoek one of South Africa’s premier wine regions, meaning it is a fabulous place to visit for both tourists and South Africans alike. With a Franschhoek experience gift, treat that special friend or family member to a day out in one of the most beautiful locations in the Western Cape.
Many of our wonderful experience days in Franschhoek naturally involve tours and tasting sessions at some of its acclaimed wine estates, making them the perfect gift for any wine lover. With tour experiences visiting the La Motte, La Bourgogne, Chamonix and La Couronne estates among others, you’ll be spoilt for choice with scenic vineyards and cellar doors to explore. For those who love cycling, hop on a pedal bike and join a tour of scenic trails through Franschhoek Valley before stopping at a renowned winery to explore and enjoy a special wine tasting. For those who like something more unique, how about a scooter or tuk tuk tour? Hop on a non-motorised scooter with large, off-road wheels or a charming, three-wheeler tuk tuk vehicle and take in the spectacular landscape as you navigate the valley and learn interesting facts and stories about the region. With room for a child on a scooter and room for up to four in a tuk tuk, this is an entertaining way for families or friends to explore Franschhoek together.
Of course, if you have children in tow there is nothing more exciting to do in Franschhoek than riding its tram.

For an overnight stay, book them into the estate’s waterside lodge that overlooks an idyllic lake or its waterfall lodge with its own private falls and rock pool.
Finally, a trip to Franschhoek isn’t complete without exploring the town itself. Join a tuk tuk tour of the most historic town in South Africa and admire its quaint Cape Dutch architecture. Listen to an expert guide share the history of the town’s founding and its early French settlers, and how this wonderful spot in the Western Cape came to be the known as the food and wine capital.
