A Taste of France in the Heart of the Cape Winelands

Why Your Clients Will Fall in Love with Franschhoek

At Ascot Tours, we pride ourselves on uncovering the most exceptional destinations for your clients, and today, we invite you to explore a true jewel of South Africa: Franschhoek. Nestled in a breathtaking valley just an hour from Cape Town, this enchanting town, whose name translates to “French Corner,” offers an unparalleled blend of European charm, culinary excellence, and natural beauty. It’s a destination that doesn’t just host visitors; it captivates them, leaving a lasting impression that calls them back time and again.

Franschhoek’s story began over 300 years ago when French Huguenot refugees settled in this fertile valley, bringing with them their rich traditions of winemaking and cuisine. That legacy thrives today, earning Franschhoek the title of South Africa’s culinary capital. The main street is a vibrant promenade of acclaimed restaurants, where award-winning chefs create masterpieces that celebrate the region’s bountiful produce. This is where your clients come to indulge their palates and experience world-class dining in a relaxed, picturesque setting.

Of course, no visit to Franschhoek is complete without immersing oneself in its legendary wine culture. The valley is home to some of the country’s most distinguished and historic wine estates, as well as innovative boutique wineries. The iconic Franschhoek Wine Tram offers a unique and leisurely way to journey between vineyards, allowing for delightful tastings of everything from crisp Sauvignon Blancs to robust Shiraz and elegant Cap Classique. It’s an experience that is both sophisticated and wonderfully fun.

For the avid golfer, Franschhoek serves as a dream base. It’s just a stone’s throw from the prestigious Pearl Valley Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature design, and the magnificent 27-hole Boschenmeer Golf Course. Furthermore, the celebrated courses of Stellenbosch, including De Zalze, Stellenbosch Golf Club, and Erinvale Golf Club, are all within easy and scenic driving distance, making it the perfect hub for an unforgettable golfing holiday.

To help you curate the perfect stay for your clients, we at Ascot Tours have personally selected the finest accommodations in the region. These are not just places to sleep; they are destinations in themselves, each offering a unique window into the soul of Franschhoek. Here are our trusted recommendations, handpicked for their exceptional quality, character, and service.
