FRANSCHHOEK VINEYARD HOPPER TOUR
 

enquire

By far the best way to experience the beautiful surroundings, architecture, gourmet and wines of the Franschhoek Valley is to explore with the Franschhoek Vineyard Hopper where you are free to hop on anytime and hop off anywhere along the route.

The Franschhoek Vineyard Hopper is ideal for guests with a real interest in wine, but with limited time and for those that do not want to be rushed with their tasting experience as is the case with most scheduled tours.

The four Franschhoek Wine Estates that will be visited are as follow.

Cabriere Wine Estate

Home to Pierre Jourdan and Haute Cabriere wines, the beautiful Cabriere Estate, situated on the banks of the Franschhoek River, was granted to the French Huguenot refugee farmer, Pierre Jourdan, on 22 December 1694. Today these amazing wines can be tasted high up against the Franschhoek Pass with breathtaking views of the Huguenot Valley. The award winning Haute Cabriere Restaurant is also located on the premises for lunch and dinners.

Dieu Donne Vineyards

Situated high on the steep, southwest facing slopes of the Franschhoek Mountain, Dieu Donne literally means “God Given” and their spectacular views endorse this translation. Enjoy a picnic lunch (must be pre booked) or a cheese platter (from their deli) on the grass banks overlooking the valley. The restaurant should be completed during 2007. Come fall in love with the Huguenot traditions while tasting their beautiful wines.

Grande Provence Estate

Home to the Angels Tears wines, Grande Provence wears her 300 year history with dignity. True French traditions await you when entering the gates to this lovely estate. Sample some award winning wines in the ultra modern tasting room, browse around the art gallery, stroll through the Jonkershuis or simply enjoy the tranquility that Grande Provence offers you. Elegant dining offers you the opportunity to sample one of Franschhoek’s finest menus.

Mont Rochelle Wine Estate

Mont Rochelle is situated against the Klein Dassenberg Mountains and overlooks the Franschhoek Valley. The gorgeous Cape Dutch Manor House, surrounded by stunning gardens and horse paddocks, as well as the tasting room staff, offers a homely feeling with personalized service and true South African hospitality. Fine wines, cellar tours, wine tasting, horse riding, picnic, private dinners in the cellar and accommodation all form part of present and future plans at Mont Rochelle.

This tour only operates from Franschhoek hotels and guest houses.
Guests will be collected from their accommodation time permitting.
