Akkerdal A.

Akkerdal Estate is located in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley. It is nestled between majestic mountains, breathtaking views with oak trees and the constant flow of the River Berg... a perfect territory and atmosphere for an artist to live his dream. As you head to Franschhoek, you'll notice that most of the farms still bear their original French names, some with a spectacular Dutch Cape Farm, towering oaks, and hilly vineyards. You'll find an array of wineries, ranging from quaint wineries that cater to those looking for something unique, to large wineries that offer visitors curly tours and tastings. The fertile Franschhoek wine valley is home to some of South Africa's noble cultivars and classic styles. These range from superb whites such as sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, sémillon and chenin blanc, to full-bodied reds of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Merlot. The area also produces some of the country's extraordinary Classic Cape Methods, all of which can be enjoyed on a trip along the Franschhoek MCC road. The wines made by the Winemakers of Franschhoek can be tasted, accompanied by delicious dishes available in the restaurants of Franschhoek, many of which are found on the wineries.
