The Best Western Cape Wedding Venues for a Destination Wedding

Wine country is a very good place to get married. The Western Cape brings mountain-backed vineyards, historic estates and a food scene that gives guests every reason to arrive early and leave late. With Cape Town within reach, it also lends itself rather well to a longer South African escape.

Our current edit of Western Cape wedding venues begins in Franschhoek, a particularly handsome corner of the Cape Winelands where the mountains provide the backdrop and the vineyards handle the wine list.

At La Cotte Farm, a working wine estate dating back to 1698, the village is close but exclusive use makes the property feel properly private. It hosts ceremonies and receptions for up to 120 guests and sleeps 102 across its manor house, cottages and private accommodation. Add gardens, a pool, a chapel and celebrations until 1am, and the practicalities are every bit as compelling as the setting.
