The Franschhoek Mystery Weekend

Discover Franschhoek blindfolded (well, metaphorically at least)


Back by popular demand, the folks at Franschhoek Wine Valley offices have unrolled a whole new series of "Franschhoek Mystery Weekends" for 2013.

Organising a weekend away can be a bit of a drag, enjoying one certainly is not. So why not chuck your B&B book in the bin and let the knowledgeable folks over at the Franschhoek Wine Valley plan your long weekend for you?

In short, the Franschhoek Mystery Package is a chance for an escape with a whole lot of intrigue, and not a bit of fuss. At R2340 per couple, those up for adventure can have the good people at the Franschhoek Wine Valley offices choose where they’ll stay, what they’ll eat and what grape, er – great, activities they’ll experience from Friday to Sunday.
