CLIMATE
Franschhoek enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate characterised by warm summers (average temperatures
range from 15°C to 30°C/60°F to 85°F) and cool winters with some rainfall (average temperatures range from
8°C to 19°C/48°F to 66°F). It is the perfect destination for ‘swallows’, as summer falls during the northern
hemisphere’s winter. WHAT TO PACK Layering is the way to go as weather can turn from warm during the day
to cold at night in both summer and winter. Summer: A swimsuit is essential, along with a sun hat, sunscreen,
sunglasses, and cool, light clothing. Light jackets or sweaters are recommended for the evenings. Winter:
Daytime clothing can be lighter, but evenings require woollens.
FRANSCHHOEK
The breathtakingly beautiful Franschhoek Valley is renowned as one of the world’s great food and wine
destinations. Settled by the French Huguenots in 1688, it has retained its Gallic charm and character. At the
heart of the valley is the romantic village of Franschhoek.
Within easy driving distance from Franschhoek, one can enjoy the pristine beaches of the Cape, play a round
of golf or experience some of the best land-based whale watching in Hermanus.

DINING
Protégé, a casual-style fine dining eatery recognises talented young chefs and provides them with an
opportunity to put themselves on the map. Guided by Scot,
Chef Proprietor of La Colombe, the restaurant offers
an experience that the residents can call “home”, the menu is seasonal and highlights fresh and local produce.
Épice is another venture from the La Colombe team. Serving an array of delectably curated dishes, the fine-
dining restaurant features a flavour-packed menu inspired by the team’s culinary expedition to India, as well as
memories of travels through Spain, Japan, Mexico, Denmark and the US.
At Leeu Estates’ The Dining Room (a sister Franschhoek property), guests staying at any of our Leeu Collection
properties can look forward to an avant-garde menu as an exclusive in-house dining option, with dishes that are
as authentic as they are innovative. From our gardens to your plate our chefs use the seasons as their
inspiration while preparing dishes that are as full of flavour as they are beautiful, with many of the ingredients
coming from the Leeu Locally Grown initiative.
Whilst at the end of a scenic pathway, La Petite Colombe (sister restaurant to La Colombe in Constantia), offers
a world-class dining experience synonymous with this world-renowned culinary collective.
GREAT HEART WINE BOUTIQUE
The Great Heart Wines Boutique recalibrates the notion of an intimate and personalised wine tasting
with availability to sit four guests at a time for Le Quartier Français and Leeu House guests only. Non-
resident guests are welcome to enjoy the tasting option by making a booking at Protégé (right across
from the Boutique). These wines can also be purchased at the Boutique.
Great Heart Wines is a staff empowerment project of Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines.
