Franschhoek Wine Valley
Now in its thirty-fourth year, Franschhoek’s Bastille Festival continues to blend the valley’s French roots with its world-class hospitality, offering something for every palate and passion.
Guests can look forward to the signature experience – a ticketed celebration where wine and cheese tastings, artisanal stalls, live entertainment and the ever-popular best-dressed competition take centre stage. Visitors are encouraged to don their finest blue, white, and red for a chance to win, embracing the French-inspired tradition of the weekend.
Whether you opt to savour the wine tastings within the legendary ICONIC Bastille marquee, where festivities abound with local food stalls and live entertainment, or opt to wander through the bustling streets, soaking in the undeniable atmosphere of the village alive with celebration... There's something for everyone to enjoy.
Don your finest French attire of blue, white and red, or opt for practical addition of wintry gumboots.
Entry to Bastille is reserved for guests 18 years and older.
