La Motte invites you to JAN Franschhoek, an exceptional food and wine experience presented from a charming historic cottage, the Veepos, right in the middle of the Franschhoek Valley’s most picturesque lavender fields.

This exceptional, seasonal food and wine experience combines the nostalgia of a South African family table with Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen’s Michelin-star culinary innovation.

The team responsible for this special, culinary experience on La Motte, is led by Chef Lara van Heerden in the JAN Franschhoek kitchen. Expect regional traditions, familiar flavours and local ingredients transformed to reflect the exciting context of modern global cuisine. Sourced and prepared with the utmost care and consideration, dishes are paired with the estate’s award-winning wines and presented with mesmerizing flair.

Dinner & lunch is served at one communal table.

    We’re only a couple of days in SA now and I can already say this has been the most memorable experience we will have had. The food, the staff, the whole experience was so great. It was 5+ stars.

    Great hype and stunning setup. Charismatic service but slow. The food was average and the wines were all entry level. Dinner took around 4 hours, lots of time to chill and walk outside between courses. Loved the cheese table at the end.
