Tucked within a boutique estate that's devoted entirely to the art of Cap Classique, this exclusive-use villa puts you in the heart of Franschhoek with your own chef, butler, and very generous pours of some of South Africa's finest bubbles. Award-winning designer Etienne Hanekom has worked his magic on the interiors, and the result is a refined sanctuary that feels every bit as polished as the wines in the cellar. Blending sessions, vineyard picnics, and helicopter flights are all on the cards – though simply sinking into the heated pool with a glass of Blanc de Blancs works too.
Inside, Hanekom's signature style shines through – think warm textures, curated art, and the kind of understated elegance that makes you want to linger. The open-plan living and dining areas flow onto a sun-drenched deck overlooking the vineyards, and there's a well-stocked wine cellar that doubles as a tasting room. Meals are served wherever you fancy – on the terrace, in the landscaped gardens, or around a convivial dining table – with your private chef creating seasonal menus paired with Colmant's own Cap Classiques. There's a heated pool for lazy afternoons and a fire pit for cooler evenings.
Four beautifully appointed suites are spread across the villa, each with en-suite bathrooms finished to a rather high standard – freestanding tubs feature prominently. Three bedrooms offer extra-length king beds, while the fourth can be configured as twin or super-king depending on your party. All have air-conditioning, underfloor heating, and those little touches that make a difference: quality linens, Nespresso machines, and views that drift over the vines or gardens. Private balconies and terraces invite quiet moments with a book – or, more likely, a glass of something bubbly.
Having an entire estate's worth of premium Cap Classique at your fingertips – served by your personal butler, no less. The arrival flute sets the tone for what's to come.
Ask to join a blending session in the cellar. It's a hands-on way to understand how Colmant crafts their bubbles – and you'll leave with a far deeper appreciation (and a few bottles).
The villa is exclusive-use only, so it's best suited for families or groups of friends – couples may find four bedrooms rather more space than they need.
