Franschhoek


See Franschhoek producers See a list of Franschhoek wines

Franschhoek wine region lies to the west of Stellenbosch in a fertile valley surrounded by the Darkenstein mountains. The town of Frankschoek was founded by fleeing French Huguenots in 1688 who also brought along their winemaking traditions and vines. 

Today it remains very much a boutique wine region with smallholding producers. 

Boekenhoutskloof is the star-performer among wine estates here.
