Think of an all-inclusive Winelands getaway in which your weekend is meticulously planned for you from check-in to check-out, ticking all the boxes that Franschhoek is famous for:
Luxurious accommodations, award-winning wines, gourmet cuisine, and bespoke experiences.

The experience begins with an exclusive check-in event where you’re invited to mingle over a glass of wine before opening your special Mystery Weekend box, which contains all the exciting details of your weekend plans to follow.
It’s ideal for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of modern living.

Winter in the Winelands offers a unique charm: roaring fires, more excuses for red wine, and fewer crowds.
Guests of the Mystery Weekends are invited to soak up all of this goodness while also taking advantage of the VIP perks that come with the tried-and-true weekend happiness recipe.

The unexpected element of these weekends may be the surprises, but the usual Franschhoek flair and warm welcomes are something guests have come to love and expect from a visit to the valley.
