The Franschhoek Food Tour

Embark on an intimate 4 hour culinary journey through the heart of Franschhoek, limited to just twelve guests for a truly personalized experience. Here, the legacy of the French Huguenots—who settled in 1688—meets South Africa’s rich culinary traditions against the dramatic backdrop of the Cape Fold Mountains. Guided by a local expert, you’ll meander along the village’s oak-lined streets, pausing at carefully selected cafés, wine bars, and boutique eateries that celebrate the valley’s diverse flavours. Enjoy a curated progression of tastings: artisan coffees and baked delicacies, refined Cape-inspired plates, hand-crafted brews, and distinctive cool-climate wines. End at a serene wine estate overlooking the valley, where you’ll toast the day with a glass of sparkling wine as you take in sweeping mountain vistas. Blending heritage, flavour, and sophistication, this tour offers an indulgent yet relaxed way to discover the soul of South Africa’s most celebrated gastronomic village.
