Mont Rochelle Hotel and Mountain Vineyards has created a bouquet of seductive winter escapes in the scenic setting of this working wine farm on the outskirts of the quaint village of Franschhoek.

These great value getaways provide an incentive to explore the winelands, with Mont Rochelle as the ideal base, and are the perfect way to counter the winter chill with a night or two wrapped in luxury and style.

A choice of mid-week or weekend breakaways are valid from 1 May to 30 September 2012, and as there is always something exciting happening in Franschhoek, you may wish to coincide your stay with enriching cultural events such as the Franschhoek Literary Festival (11-13 May) or the Bastille Festival (14 & 15 July).

This award-winning wine farm consistently ranks among the top gourmet and wine destinations in the Western Cape, and guests indulging in a stay here will be treated to a taste of world-class cuisine in the cosy interiors of its two distinctive restaurants: fine dining restaurant Mange Tout, and cellar door restaurant the Country Kitchen.

The Mont Rochelle One Night Winter Escape comprises an overnight stay with full English breakfast, a three-course dinner at Mange Tout restaurant, and two bottles of Mont Rochelle wine to enjoy at home, from only R2300 per room per night for two people sharing.

Guests opting to extend their stay for a second night may do so at the reduced rate of R2000 per room per night, with a complimentary wine tasting and Mont Rochelle cellar tour adding to the allure.

Offering a complimentary third night when booking a two-night stay on a bed and breakfast basis, the Mont Rochelle Mid-Week Escape provides a tempting invitation to linger a little longer, with excellent value from just R4600 per room for the three-nights. (Valid from Sunday to Thursday)

Whether opting for a one night break, or a luxurious weekend away from the daily grind, a stay at this elegant hotel, where warm, personal service is served up in the glorious surrounds of the Mont Rochelle vineyards, is the ultimate tonic to ward off the winter chill.
