With a name that means “French Corner,” Franschhoek oozes elegance. Founded by Huguenot settlers in the 17th century, it has become the country’s culinary capital.

Don’t miss the Franschhoek Wine Tram for a relaxed, hop-on-hop-off tasting experience.

Known for its bold reds and historic wine farms, Paarl offers a more laid-back and rustic charm. It’s one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the country, famous for its Chenin Blanc and Shiraz. The landscape is as rich as the wines—sun-drenched valleys, granite domes, and a strong agricultural heritage.
From luxury wine estates with sweeping views to charming boutique hotels tucked away in the vineyards, the Winelands offer accommodation as rich in character as the wines themselves. Stay in a historic manor house in Stellenbosch, a romantic farmhouse in Franschhoek, or a contemporary vineyard villa in Constantia.
