Franschhoek’s most scenic celebrations

Say I do, say cheers, or just say yes

Mont Rochelle hosts weddings, milestone celebrations, proposals and team getaways at the foot of the Klein Dassenberg mountains in Franschhoek. Gather 2 to 80 guests in spaces from a candlelit cellar to our signature restaurant, or book the whole hotel and Manor House, all 26 rooms and suites, so the estate is yours.

Picture vines rolling down to the valley floor, mountains turning pink at sunset, and a glass of something local in every hand. Here, the scenery does most of the decorating. You just bring the people.

Vineyard weddings

Whether it’s a picnic for two by the dam or a party for 80 under the stars, Mont Rochelle makes saying 'I do' feel like the easiest decision you’ll ever make. Feast on seasonal menus, toast with the estate’s own award-winning wines, then dance until the mountains disappear into the dark.

For larger weddings, we’ll introduce you to trusted local planners who know the estate inside out.
