A Franschhoek Affair
Every Weekend in June
We’d like to introduce people to the secret places not usually associated with Franschhoek, or that visitors seldom find, exposing them – and our friends and neighbours – to the exceptional talent to be found in our valley.
The idea is to present learning experiences, classes, demonstrations and skills development every weekend in June, bringing people here to enjoy the increasingly popular short breaks that add value and new dimensions to busy lives.
All Bookings are done Directly with the Various Establishments but for any additional information please call Darielle Craddock, Franschhoek Events Co-ordinator on 021 876 2861
