Mont Rochelle: A Legacy of the Huguenots

 The beginnings of Mont Rochelle are intrinsically connected to the foundational history of Franschhoek, one of South Africa’s oldest cities.  It originated as a farm in the early 18th century, possessed by one of the initial Huguenots who entered the valley approximately 30 years prior.  Richard Branson’s Wineland enterprise, characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a taste for luxury, will entice customers to return.

 Renowned for its exquisite wines, visitors will have an abundance of options while vacationing in the valley.  Experience a day aboard the Franschhoek Wine Tram, which traverses the region’s premier wine farms.  Indulge in retail therapy in the village’s boutique shops, engage in a round of golf, or undertake a trek or horseback ride in these scenic environs.

 Guests at Mont Rochelle may reside in the Cabernet, Merlot, and Shiraz Rooms, or the Pinotage and Cap Classique Suites.  The Cap Classique Suites feature a private patio and a private plunge pool.  The on-site amenities comprise two restaurants, a bar, a spa, a gym, a heated outdoor pool, and a wine cellar.
