Swimming pool:
the large swimming pool is a cemented farm dam filled with
fresh water from a fountain high up in the Franschhoek Mountain.

Book a tour with winemaker Johan and taste his wine
straight out of the vats. He is especially proud of
his port.
Hiking trails:
Through the vineyards, around the orchard and along
the Franschhoek river. Or up the Wemmershoek
mountain. The owner’s dogs are excellent guides and
will gladly escort you!
Peach picking and packing:
If you visit La Provence in November you are welcome
to pick and pack peaches – and taste the wonderful
fruit as well.
Wine harvesting
:
In late February and March the grapes are harvested
and you are invited to join the picking with your
own basket in hand. Or to taste the fresh grape juice
and must (federwisser)
during the crushing and pressing process. See
Merlot…Cabernet…Semillon…in the making!
Johan has a collection of veteran
cars in a small museum on the farm. These include a
1927 Dodge, a 1948 Army truck, and a red and green
1948 and 1955 Citroens or black shining 1958 Mercedes
Benz.
