Ultimate Foodie Tour In Franschhoek

Your foodie adventure begins at the famous gardens of Babylonstoren – a stunning winery and a farm with magnificent gardens and beautifully preserved Cape Dutch architecture. Go for a stroll through the well-maintained gardens and learn about the fruits, herbs, nuts, spices, and vegetables that are grown on the estate.

Every one of the 300 varieties of plants you will come across in the gardens is edible or has medicinal values. Additionally, all produce is grown as organically as possible and in a biologically sustainable manner. The fruits and vegetables from the gardens are harvested all year round for two farm-to-fork restaurants.

After working up your appetite, head over to Moreson Wine Estate, a tranquil garden paradise located on the outskirts of Franschhoek. Relax in its shaded patio and indulge in 3 different locally sourced and handcrafted charcuteries paired with the award-winning Moreson wine. Each pairing strives to showcase the characteristics of both the charcuterie and the wine and demonstrate how they can enhance each other.

Your third stop is a heritage estate in Franschhoek where you will learn about the art and science of food and wine pairing. Enjoy 4 perfectly made canapés paired with local wines. Discover how flavors and textures in food and wine interact with each other to create a totally new tasting experience. Your specialist guide will explain how the tastes of sugar, acid and tannins in wine can either be accentuated or minimized when paired with certain foods.

End the day at yet another fantastic Franschhoek estate where you will discover the essence of the South African foodie lifestyle. Take a seat and enjoy a premium food and wine pairing involving Methode Cap Classique wine (made in the Champagne method) and delicious canapés from the restaurant kitchen.
