Welcome your guests to the one of the Western Cape’s most picturesque locations: Holden Manz wine estate, which lies above the Franschhoek valley, surrounded by magnificent mountains.

At the end of last month, we had the pleasure of attending the estate’s launch luncheon to introduce the estate and its facilities to wedding planners, marketers and suppliers – all those involved in everything ‘wedding’.

A working wine estate with accommodation and a restaurant, Holden Manz is also the ideal wedding venue, especially for those who enjoy good food and state-of-the-art wines.

When it comes to ceremony location, the estate provides cool shade under the ancient oak trees where couples share their vows at the convergence of the Franschhoek and Stony Brook rivers. Legend has it that these unions are blessed with abundant happiness and prosperity. C'est romantique!

After the couples say their I-do’s guests can retire to the stunning gardens for bubbly and delicious canapés. A favourite of ours must be the vineyards walk – before the formalities of the evening begin, guests meander through the estate’s vineyards and make their way to the esteemed Franschhoek Kitchen, which is exclusively yours to enjoy for a memorable night!

The attentive staff are flexible and very happy to facilitate your requests in any way possible.

All in all, a perfect place to escape and find your own little bit of Franschhoek paradise.
