Franschhoek (“French Corner”) was founded by the French Huguenots who fled France due to religious persecution. They were smart enough to bring some vines with them. Franschhoek’s in a valley surrounded by mountains and perfect for growing grapes.

Michelle and I both thought it felt a bit like Aviemore with wide street surrounded by mountains.
We took the wine tram (although it’s mostly a bus) which takes you round a number of vineyards . We visited 5 different vineyards tasting different wines at each one.
Richard Branson gets everywhere
After the wine tasting, there was beer too!
Beer tasting too!
There was even an Indian restaurant, and since it was Friday, we decided to go for our traditional Friday night curry.
What a day! Wine tasting, beer tasting, and a curry – in beautiful surroundings, with my beautiful wife. Can life get any better?
