The Franschhoek Mystery Weekend

Sign up for a surprise, activity-filled weekend in the Cape’s French corner!

The lovely folks at the Franschhoek Wine Valley offices have heeded the public’s demand: the Franschhoek Mystery Weekends are back for 2015! This time around, the offering has been taken up a notch so that each weekend follows a theme – June’s one, for example, is just for the ladies. The popular events invite locals and tourists alike to explore the French Huguenot town under the guidance of the region’s tourism bureau.

What that means is that the Franschhoek Wine Valley office takes all the drag out of organising a romantic, jam-packed weekend away by simply doing it for you. You merely need to sign up and pay, and then the good people in the know will use their knowledge and expertise to reserve a space for you at a gorgeous accommodation, organise mystery local experiences and set up breakfasts, lunches and dinners (all of which remain undisclosed until the day of arrival).

So, chuck your B&B book in the bin, throw caution to the wind and allow the professionals to fret over the details while you enjoy an amazing weekend in the Winelands.
