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.

    An incredible experience from start to finish. A one off- never had anything like it before. It was the most luxurious lunch you can imagine. Great theatre, incredible food, lovely people and a unique venue like no other. better than his 1*restaurant in Nice( and that takes some beating).

    What an absolute treat and amazing experience! Words are not enough to describe the experience: from bubbles at La Motte to the transfer to Veepos, the hand wash ceremony, until they open the door to Veepos and you walk in to the beautifully decorated room. This is just a once in a lifetime experience. The food: amazing! Portions are very generous. The cheese table is to die for!
