2. Picnic at a wine estate<\/h2>\n

Known as the gastronomical capital of South Africa, Franschhoek is home to some of the world\u2019s greatest restaurants. While dining at these exquisite spots should definitely be on your list, a picnic at one of the wine estates, especially during summer, is a must! Relax on lawns overlooking vineyards as you sip on a glass of bubbles or ros\u00e9 and indulge in delicious picnic snacks. Chances are you’ll get carried away soaking up the sunshine and ordering more wine, so don\u2019t make too many other afternoon plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not sure which wine estates to visit? Boschendal<\/a>, Leeu Estates<\/a> and Holden Manz<\/a> are just a few that offer amazing picnic options.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Cycle through the vineyards<\/h2>\n

But what makes this space extra special is that guests can now create their own beauty products, one of the newer fun things to do in Franschhoek.\u00a0 Get creative and concoct a scented bath soak, face mask or hand and foot scrub using ingredients grown on the farm. <\/span><\/p>\n

8. Enjoy an afternoon tea<\/h2>\n

Nothing is quite as delightfully decadent as afternoon tea, and Franschhoek sure brings a wonderful spread to the table.\u00a0 From classic tea and scones with clotted cream to blanched asparagus with Parma ham and a glass of bubbles, dress for the occasion and get ready to indulge in some seriously moreish treats.\u00a0 For tea with vineyard and garden views, head to Le Verger at Le Franschhoek Hotel<\/a> or Manor House at Leeu Estate<\/a>. If immaculate interior design gets you excited, opt for tea at Orangerie Restaurant at Le Lude<\/a> \u2013 you won\u2019t be disappointed. <\/span><\/p>\n
