FRANSCHHOEK Two perfect days at Leeu Estates There are places you can’t help but fall in love with at first sight and return to year after year. Home to some of the most prestigious wineries on the planet, Franschhoek – carpeted in pretty vineyards, dusty olive groves and châteaux – is a paradise for oenophiles everywhere. And springtime, with its blossoms and golden-yellow flowers blooming between the vines, is the perfect moment; before steamy summer envelops this town that lies at the head of a scenic steep-sided valley in the Cape Winelands. Most visits are motivated by a desire to see fine art, sample culinary delights as well as admire swoon-worthy architecture and celebrated gardens – and you can do all of that right here, at Leeu Estates. Our detailed itinerary has been road-tested and perfected by our editor. Here’s why you need to pack your bags and head to the food and wine capital.
