Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch and the surrounding wine regions have long been recognised as places worth celebrating. From beautiful vineyards that are planted in some of the oldest soils in the world, to the avenues of oak trees that line the streets of the second oldest town in South Africa. Stellies—as it’s affectionately known is a university town as well with 29,000 students and still growing!
Franchhoek
There was not any wine farms around in 1688 when the Dutch granted the refugees land there and the valley was called Olifantshoek (Elephants corner)
The name later changed to Le Coin Francais (the French corner) and then to Franschhoek(Dutch)
This jewel in the wine lands is encircled almost entirely by scenic mountains,
And as you drive through you will see the wine farms named after of the areas in France for which the original settlers came from.
Today Franschhoek has breathtaking natural beauty, wineries,resturants and a country life style.
