The Franschhoek Wine Valley, the Cape’s very own French outpost, invites you to join them in celebrating Bastille on the weekend of 15 – 16 July 2023. The valley is set to be a hive of activity and French flair, offering a weekend of indulgent food and the renowned fine wines of Franschhoek.
Don your berets and all things red, white, and blue as you revel in the French ambience of the magnificent Winelands. Stroll through the vibrant main road and share in the merriment, bespoke village shopping and lively street entertainment of local drummers, musicians and performance artists. If further incentive to dress up is needed, fantastic prizes can be won for the best-dressed attendees over the weekend.
The Bastille weekend offers the perfect backdrop for guests to immerse themselves in French culture and nods to France’s rich heritage, specifically commemorating the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789. Those who prefer to soak up the vibrant atmosphere, are welcome to wander the streets, shopping local and enjoying lunch in one of many renowned restaurants flying the flag over the Bastille weekend.
