Stroll through the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz vineyards that produce La Residence wines, and visit our much-loved vegetable garden and plum orchards that supply our kitchens. Summer months yield an abundance of black figs, ripe pomegranates, juicy plums, green artichokes and fragrant herbs. The property’s beautiful rose garden is always a delight and there’s an olive grove in front of the hotel, with a charming tea house beside the pond that offers a perfect spot for refreshments.

During the tour, you may come across the estate’s eclectic array of animals. The miniature horses, Tango and Twist, springboks, guinea fowl, chickens, peacocks and exceptional birdlife.

Our farm manager, a Franschhoek local with intimate knowledge of the region, guides our informal tours that bring our unique story and heritage to life. Pre-booking is advisable.
