This recent accolade arrives at a time when the need for boosting tourism levels and visitor numbers is at an all-time high, post-pandemic. With Franschhoek on the world map, this recent inclusion serves as a further reminder and validation of the incredible diversity and quality on offer within the historic valley. South Africans are encouraged to celebrate this recent news by exploring and supporting the countless epicurean, outdoor and accommodation offerings in a town that boasts immense natural beauty and caters to locals in the quieter winter months through various specials and savings.
