Franschhoek Wine Valley’s popular “Eat Sleep Drink” campaign is back for winter 2025, reaffirming the region’s status as South Africa’s culinary capital.
From July 21 to August 11, diners can enjoy a R300 discount per person on every dinner reservation at participating Franschhoek restaurants, and the offer can be used at multiple venues throughout the campaign.
Designed to encourage local travel during the quieter season, it’s an ideal chance to experience the valley’s acclaimed restaurants in a more relaxed, intimate setting.
Against a backdrop of crisp air and crackling fires, the initiative offers a unique taste of the Winelands in winter, highlighting the character, flavour and heritage that define Franschhoek.
