The best places to stay and do in Franschhoek, according to the experts: The 50 has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. La Motte Wine Farm comes out on top.
-
A wine estate in the Franschhoek Valley where the owner is a former mezzo-soprano, which explains the calendar of classical concerts as much as the plush reds do. La Motte runs an artisan bakery that opens onto the garden, a farm shop stocked with lavender lotions and ash-wood cheese boards, and enough Cape hospitality to make a half-day disappear without trying. It landed on the World's 50 Best Vineyards list, if you need a reason to prioritize.

Copper soaking tubs and exposed beams set the tone at this self-described "healing farm" at the foot of the Franschhoek mountains, where the pace is agricultural and the rooms are called sanctuaries without a hint of irony. Bread ferments, fruit ripens on its own schedule, and the whole operation seems designed to make you forget what day it is. A Discovery listing from The 50 recognized it. Pack light and stay longer than planned.
