FRANSCHHOEK VALLEY
Embraced by the giant arms of ancient mountain-onlookers which are towering over and around the Valley of the Huguenots – the enchanting village of Franschhoek shares with you the visitor,
the love for tantalizing nectar from the succulent berries of the vine;
The fragrances of juicy fruit, fresh from the orchards of peach, plum and pear trees;
The tastes and smells of food on the palate of not only the connoisseur of cuisine, but also the ordinary lover of good food to be enjoyed in the many top restaurants in and around the village .
In an attempt to obtain freedom of religion and rest for weary feet, traces from the history from so far as three centuries and more into the past, not only offer the opportunity to follow the footsteps of those who resisted the onslaught of oceans from far outside the Cape of Storms.
These brave ones left us an heritage of architecture, culture and knowledge in the wine industry and on the gables of so many Cape Dutch historical homes.
Experience of the grief of the slaves and freedom fighters since and after the late part of the 20th century, left an imprint that cannot be deleted.
Awesome relating stories of the joy of shackles being thrown off….right here in the Franschhoek Valley and surrounds, will remain lingering in the air….cannot be blown away by the wild South Eastern in summertime or be dampened by the North Western wind that sometimes storms through the streets and naked vineyards during the winter months.
SEASONS
When soft rains draw the curtain on the violence of nature and the sky clears, the scenery as far as the horizons is splashed in green by a mild Mediterranean climate mood.
With the sun breaking through, the scenery is changed into a wonderland with its own beauty…to be enjoyed by visitors from afar, offering them an experience flavoured with the magic of diamond days…..
The fascinating colours of spring, when fruit trees compete to deliver a shower of white and pink and vineyards shine a light green shade of morning glory against the blue and purple of the mountains, compete to match the full rich copper and orange glaze in autumn, when again, it is time for nature to put on its winter cloak.
And when the wind dies down and sunrays force their way through the haze of rain clouds on the mountain peaks, one can see several rainbows playing hide and seek, shedding their colour throughout the Rainbow Valley and into the hearts of those who are privileged to dwell on this piece of land.
