Le Lude

The home of Cap Classique set in an elegant tasting room

Le Lude, the home of Cap Classique winemaking in the heart of Franschhoek Valley, offers a refreshing alternative to traditional wine tastings.

Established in 1693, Le Lude is dedicated to crafting naturally bottle-fermented sparkling wines using the Cap Classique method. Their commitment to terroir-driven excellence, innovation, and an uncompromising pursuit of perfection has made them one of the world’s most exciting Cap Classique producers, renowned for finesse, elegance, and refinement.

You can choose to sit inside their tasting room which exudes contemporary French sophistication, featuring soft green panelling, dark wooden furniture with an inviting atmosphere. For those looking for something a little more refreshing and light, they have a beautiful outdoor area where you can enjoy your tasting under the trees.

Guests can choose from a tasting of Le Lude’s Reserve, Brut, or Rosé collection, or indulge in a sparkling wine and canapé pairing for a more elevated experience. If you would like a more in-depth experience you have the option to embark on one of two exclusive cellar tours, each offering a unique and unforgettable experience.

On-site, Orangerie Restaurant showcases exquisite French cuisine. Chef Nicolene’s à la carte menu promises a sumptuous dining experience, complemented by exceptional MCC and outstanding service—perfect for a special occasion or a leisurely meal with friends.
