Satellite of Heaven?
If I call Franschhoek heaven, I'll have to call Devon Valley Hotel a satellite of heaven. See why in the September edition as we chat to the Louis Group MD, Craig Seaman. Actually if it's a satellite of heaven, I guess MD is a tad shy of the truth.

Winelands Experience on the Move
The Month (TM) recently spoke to Richard Dellar (RD) from Franschhoek-based tourism company, Winelands Experience. We noted that he has become a familiar face around the Franschhoek Valley and asked him to tell us how long he’s been living and working in Franschhoek and how he’s spent his time here.
RD: Like most people, I fell in love with the valley on my first visit in the 70’s when I attended a conference at the old Swiss Farm Excelsior (now Le Franschhoek). At the time I was working for Stellenbosch Farmers Winery in marketing. My wife and I bought an apartment at La Petite Provence in 2001 but moved here permanently in 2003. I bought a share of Winelands Experience in 2006 and have spent the last three years building our presence in the Franschhoek tourism industry.
TM: But rumour has it that you’re retiring and moving on.
