Winter promotions in Franschhoek

Although traditionally Winter symbolizes hibernation, the good news is that Franschhoek is still open for business and we can’t wait to welcome you to our charming village. Snow capped mountains and magical wintery scenery add extra touches to what promises to be an unforgettable experience to South Africa’s Valley of Dreams. We have put together a list of not-to-be-missed Winter promotions being offered by some of our members, which include, dining, wines, retail and accommodation.
Please note that COVID-19 restrictions apply where applicable.
