La Petite Ferme, perched above the Franschhoek Valley, is rolling out a delicious lineup of Chef’s Tables and Wine Evenings this June—and it’s everything your tastebuds didn’t know they needed.
Think haute cuisine, big flavors, playful themes, and views that might just steal the spotlight (if the bouillabaisse doesn’t beat them to it).
Here’s what’s cooking under the stars and among the vines:
🇫🇷 French Fusion | Chef’s Table – Friday, 6 June
Dust off your best “bonjour” and prepare for a flavor passport. This evening is a love letter to Franschhoek’s French roots—with a South African accent, of course.
Expect preserved vegetables, slow-cooked confit meats, and a classic bouillabaisse that could charm even the most Parisian of palates. Every bite is expertly paired with wine, making it the kind of experience that lingers long after the last sip.
💸 R1650 per person – includes a bespoke wine pairing
🍷 Starts with arrival drinks at 18:00, dinner at 18:30
🍭 Childhood Favourites | Chef’s Table – Friday, 20 June
Nostalgia gets a gourmet makeover in this whimsical trip down memory lane. From popcorn and candy floss to toffee apples with a twist, it’s all your childhood favorites—reimagined with adult-level skill and a little culinary mischief.
It’s dinner, but with the kind of joyful surprises that might make you giggle between courses (yes, you can have fun and foie gras).
💸 R1650 per person – including wine pairings
🎈 Grown-up whimsy starts at 18:00 on the lawn with a drink in hand
🥂 Bubbles & Baboons | Wine Evening – Friday, 27 June
No, this isn’t a wine safari (though that would be amazing). This sparkling soirée celebrates Cap Classique from Colmant, hosted by bubbly maestro Paul Gerber, followed by an exploration of Baboon Rock Wines—bold, characterful, and not monkeying around.
This evening is all about sipping, socializing, and learning a thing or two about local wine artistry—without the pressure of a sit-down meal. Light canapés included, but feel free to stay for dinner after.
💸 R600 per person – includes bubbles, wine & bites
🐒 Come for the MCC, stay for the baboons (figuratively)
Whether you’re in it for the fine food, the top-notch wine, or just the excuse to dress up and bask in those valley views, La Petite Ferme’s June series is serving gourmet experiences with a playful twist. Book early—seats are limited and bragging rights are real.
Franschhoek has never tasted this fun.
