Akademie Street Boutique Hotel offers a delicious MCC and a selection of carefully curated local Franschhoek wines under their own label.
Whether you’re the sort of wine enthusiast whose private cellar would make Robert Parker envious, or you simply enjoy a glass with your dinner but couldn’t discern a Pinot Grigio from a Chardonnay, the Franschhoek valley’s selection of wines caters to everyone’s taste. As you drive towards the town you’ll notice that many of the farms still bear their original French names, the word ‘Franschhoek’, of course, meaning ‘French Corner.’ When the Edict of Nantes was revoked by King Louis XIV in 1867, some 200 French citizens fled to the Cape to escape religious persecution.
