Known for being Africa's oldest commercial art gallery, Everard Read spotlights modern and contemporary painting and sculpture from South Africa and the diaspora. Its Franschhoek locations (on Huguenot Road, and a more recent space in the Leeu Estates) offer a more up close and personal way to engage with the programme, operating by appointment only. Keeping a dynamic turn of shows and artists, the gallery strives to expose a huge range of fine contemporary painting and sculpture to a broad audience. 

A French-accented retreat in Franschhoek, reveals itself as a food-focused double act, spread over two South African estates, including a vineyard, orchards and lavender-flecked gardens, plus a few surprises in between.

Terbodore not only offers one of the best specialty brews in the area, they also have a lovely terrace with sun all day long. Sip a latte, order something off their brunch menu and take a little break from all the delish wines!
