If you are staying in Stellenbosch, the same can be said for the lively university town!

Franschhoek is home to many fine dining establishments and of course endless wine farms in the surrounding valleys. We highly recommend a fine dining experience at La Petit Colombe, Protegé, or Epice - and to be sure to indulge in all of the beautiful farm to table meals available in the region. Some of our favorite wine experiences are at Anthonij Rupert, Rupert and Rothschild, Vrede En Lust, La Motte, Plaisir De Merle, Solms Delta, Babylonstoren, and of course Boschendal and Tokara!

Boschendal Estate, which hosts our wedding venue, offers a number of experiences such as mountain biking, guided hiking, garden
tours, horse back riding, and more!
