There are days for getting where you’re going.

And then there are winter days in Franschhoek.

Take the scenic road. Wander a little further. Stay a little longer over lunch. Find one more reason not to head home just yet.

The long way is lovely this time of year.

Make Franschhoek Cellar part of your winter wanderings.

In the late 19th century, the last elephant was seen leaving the Franschhoek Valley.

More than a century later, its story still echoes here.

The Last Elephant was created in tribute to that mystical legacy: a wine crafted from the finest barrels our cellar produces, and one that has gone on to earn repeated recognition from some of the most respected names in wine.

Powerful yet elegant. Deeply expressive. Made to linger.
Some wines are made for a moment.
Others become part of the story.

Take a walk through Franschhoek and you’ll find that history has a habit of appearing where you least expect it.

In old buildings. Along familiar roads. And in the names of the wines in our Village Walk range.

Baker Station Shiraz takes its name from Franschhoek’s original station building, named for renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker. Like the place that inspired it, this is a wine with depth and character: generous mulberry and plum flavours, soft ripe tannins and a long, beautifully balanced finish.

One stop on a walk through the places, people and stories that make our village so special.

There is a different kind of beauty to the Franschhoek Valley in winter.

Morning mist settles over the vineyards. Mountain peaks frame the landscape. Fires crackle indoors while the season slows everything down, inviting you to linger a little longer.

It's a time for red wine, long lunches and unforgettable views. This winter, experience the valley at its most enchanting.

Winter calls for red wine.

Rich flavours, layered complexity and lingering finishes make them the perfect companion for slow evenings, hearty meals and fireside conversations.

Find your winter favourite and savour the season, one glass at a time.
