It’s time for the annual Franschhoek spring festival – Franschhoek Uncorked: a celebration of winemaking and gourmet goods that takes place on 4 and 5 September.

Go to Grande Provence (pictured) for live musical entertainment and cheese and charcuterie platters and don’t miss out on the Taste of Grande Provence food-and-wine-pairing experience. Or treat yourself to a dinner at the Chef and Winemaker’s Table.

Foodies can purchase an access pass for R80 per person, which entitles you to free wine-tasting at all participating wineries over the weekend and a shuttle service between farms. For only R375, you can indulge in a fabulous four-course meal at Grand Provence accompanied, of course, by Grande Provence wine.
