5Highly Recommended
We went on a wine walk with Cedric, who was very knowledgeable and engaging about the area's history. The walk itself is not too difficult with the frequent stops for wine tasting and lunch. We did the wine tram the day before, which was fun, but you get much more out of the wine walk. I would recommend doing both if you have time.
5A great way to see, and taste, Franschhoek.
What a lovely way to see Franschhoek. I highly advise you take this “tour”. We started at at 9am with a short stroll around the town with a bit of history. Then up the street to the base of the mountains where we visited 3 winery’s and tasted several wines. Then a short tuk tuk ride to Lunch which was on a lovely vineyard. and then a quick walk back to where we started. It was about 6 hours total but the time flew by and we learned a lot about SA wine and food in the region. 10 out of 10!
5The best wine walk I experienced this far, wonderful hosts and very educated guides lead by Cedric , Michelle & Matthew
We started at the old church which was the most fascinating part of the tour for myself. The views were breathtaking, company & the conversations were even better . We were looked after very well by the hosts Matthew & Michelle , the Franschhoek tours will keep getting popular as the summer approaches however this walk is absolutely perfect for winter season as well ! The distances to walk was fair and we could enjoy every single vineyard for what they had to offer, the pace was very relaxed and we never felt rushed. Food was just as amazing as we had a beautifull lunch at my favorite restaurant La Cotte Farm. The local people will certainly enjoy this experience as well as international travelers as this offer suits all pockets. Furthermore it was overall something out of a fairytale. Great people with stunning surroundings and fantastic wines, my day was fulfilled to the fullest, a tat tipsey but here in the winelands tipsey guests are happy guests ☺ A big thank you to the team that made this experience possible. It was truly a memory of a lifetime to come together and share what our dreams are made of . Devoted to the hospitality sector in the winelands I can truly recommend this remarkable experience to all ages. 5 star service all the way! Much much appreciation !!!
5Fascinating walk that weaves together the natural beauty and people, food and wine stories of the Franschhoek valley.
I attended the Franschhoek Wine Walk on 06 May 2025 with colleagues in the tourism industry. Matt was a great guide, bringing the history and stories of people, wine and food of the Franschhoek valley together in a fascinating way! I have visited Franschhoek many times over the years, but have never experienced it from this unique perspective. This is a must-do tour when you visit the breath-taking-beautiful valley of Franschhoek! Keep up the great work Matt!

About Franschhoek
Franschhoek is a wine village in a mountain-ringed valley of the Western Cape, founded by French Huguenots, with Cape Dutch houses and fine restaurants.
Franschhoek, Dutch for French Corner, lies in a valley ringed by mountains in the Cape Winelands, east of Stellenbosch, and was settled in 1688 by Huguenots, French Protestants who fled persecution. The Huguenot Memorial Museum and a large monument at the head of the main road tell their story, and white Cape Dutch gabled houses stand among vineyards, oak trees and rose gardens.
