Franschhoek launches food & wine experience
2011-03-17
BREATHTAKING SCENERY, warm hospitality, South Africa’s Gourmet Capital, fine wines, distinctive artists, and a small village atmosphere. These are the hallmarks of the picturesque Franschhoek Wine Valley, which has now launched the Franschhoek Wine Valley Food & Wine Route. Offering visitors an array of innovative food, wine and lifestyle experiences, the route is available throughout the year and includes, amongst others, food and wine pairings, varietal specific tastings, Cap Classique tastings, chocolate making, cooking classes in demonstration kitchens, olive oil tastings as well as stopovers to some of Franschhoek’s culinary establishments. A map will be made available to visitors highlighting the various activities, allowing them to tailor-make their itineraries and appreciate what the valley has to offer, at their leisure. This initiative focuses on the character of the area, not only as the country’s Gourmet Capital, but also as the ultimate lifestyle destination. “A project which has taken months to fine tune and put in place, we’re thrilled to finally make this route available to visitors wanting to experience all that Franschhoek has to offer,” says Franschhoek Wine Valley CEO, Jenny Prinsloo. Dalewood Cheese marks the beginning of the route, followed by Babylonstoren, Backsberg, Noble Hill and Vrede en Lust, Val de Vie on the R310, all the way through to Boekenhoutskloof and Franschhoek Pass Winery, allowing visitors to experience the beauty of the valley between the mountain ranges.
