FOOD & WINE TOURS

I'm back with something to tempt your tastebuds and quench your thirst! 
The Franschoek area is a view to behold!  Especially if you take a drive up
the mountain pass.  You can see the whole of Franschoek from up there on a clear day.  Just be careful of the baboons.  There tend to be some
big buggers who come to the road.  Please DON'T feed them!  This town is full of history dating as far back as the French Huguenots' when they first settled there.  The museum is a must-see.

People are inclined to refer to this town as the Rich Peoples Town, because it is so stocked with elegance, culture, cuisine and quaint little shops with star rated restaurants.  Trust me, not just the rich roam there!
