IMAGINE an all-inclusive winelands getaway, where your weekend has been meticulously planned for you from check in to check out. You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a dream, but this can be your reality. Franschhoek’s popular Mystery Weekends holds the promise of surprise, relaxation and pure indulgence.
Your all-encompassing weekend includes everything Franschhoek is known for – luxurious accommodation, award-winning wines, gourmet cuisine and bespoke experiences. Since their inception in 2012 the Mystery Weekends have welcomed more than 2000 visitors to the region, reaffirming Franschhoek as one of SA’s premier travel destinations.
Your experience begins with an exclusive (and unconventional) check-in event planned for all guests. Mingle over a glass of wine before opening your special Mystery Weekend box, which contains all the exciting details as to where you’ll be staying, where you’ll be dining and what you’ll be experiencing, including a fun and informal evening where you are welcomed to the valley in true Franschhoek fashion. This year a few more surprises have been added which will be revealed over the course of the weekend.
The cost per couple includes the following:
- Two nights’ accommodation
- Breakfast daily
- A surprise event on the Friday night
- Dinner on the Saturday night
- Lunch on the Sunday
- As well as a selection of fun filled bespoke Franschhoek experiences which will be revealed upon arrival.
The confirmed dates for this year’s Mystery Weekends are 3 to 5 June; 26 to 28 August, with the final weekend set for 30 September to 2 October. Bookings for all three dates are already open so don’t delay as they sell out fast.
