There’s a version of Franschhoek that only winter visitors get to see. The mountain mist that hangs low over the valley in the mornings. The vineyards stripped back and unhurried. The dining rooms that feel closer and warmer when the days are short. It’s quieter, yes – but that’s precisely the point.
For the third year running, EAT SLEEP DRINK is back, in partnership with Franschhoek Wine Valley, making it easier (and more affordable) than ever to experience the valley at its most intimate. From 20 July to 11 August 2026, nine of Franschhoek’s most celebrated restaurants are opening their doors with a standout winter offer: R300 off per person, per dinner booking – exclusively through Dineplan.
No complicated codes. Just great food, great wine, and a little more money left over for an extra glass.

The catch? There are only 65 vouchers per restaurant.
Each participating restaurant releases a limited number of EAT SLEEP DRINK vouchers – 65 per venue – and once they’re gone, they’re gone. If you’ve been burnt by selling out in previous years, now you know: don’t wait.
Bookings open exclusively through Dineplan, so you can lock in your table the moment they go live.
Book your table before they sell out
