Description: Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate wears her 325-year history with style. Nestled within the Franschhoek Valley in the Western Cape, surrounded by 47-acres of lush vines, this is heartland South African wine country at its finest. The Estate is home to Grande Provence’s award-winning wines and its passionate wine making team.

Stopped here for alfresco lunch and was not disappointed. The sirloin starter was amazing as was the beetroot. The main courses of pork belly and line fish maintained the high standard. Only downside was the mango dessert which was trying too hard to taste of something and ended up being rather anaemic, hence the 4 star rating.
There are a lot of sculptures in the garden and a small art gallery with all items in show being for sale. Not to everyone’s taste but interesting to be sure.

Me and my friends visited Franschhoek to try out varieties of wineries. Grande Provence wine estate was our first choice. When you enter the gate the signs are clear but you cannot find the one that says tasting room. We drove in after being directed by the security lady. When we got there no one paid attention to us as we kept asking to do a wine tasting. There was tables outside and some reserved. When we asked this person directs us to that one. That one doesn't pay attention to us. It was a beautiful day. Beautiful location but the service we received was very very poor. I don't know if they were short staffed or what but we were not treated as guests who came to taste wine. Poor service left us to leave the area and go to the next wineries nearby where we received a wonderful service. From the parking you get a golf card to direct you to the tasting room. Where we met a wonderful lady who greeted us with a smile and directed us accordingly. From poor service to a 5 star service we received in the end. I wouldn't recommend Grande Provenance to any of our guests.

A very elegant dining experience in a beautiful setting. Service was not quite up to the same standard, we were given the starter for another table which was then whipped away without an apology. However the food made up for this with a starter of Franschhoek trout followed by Chalmar beef fillet all beautifully cooked and presented

Loved this place all grande and beautiful. We tasted 3 of the white wines, which was divine and the setting in the garden with statues and nature surrounding us, I guess made the wine taste even better.

We sat down for lunch, I had tuna for a starter, which was beautifully done served cold with smokes cauliflower. My lunch option was pork belly and broccoli with almond and feta, which was absolutely incredible. Pork was beautifully done and melted in my mouth with every bite and the salad was crunchy, smokey and fresh.

There is an art studio that one can explore and enjoy while on the grounds.
