Paserene: An Elegant Wedding + Conference Venue in Franschhoek

Light-filled and elegant, Paserene’s contemporary tasting room was inspired by the organic curves and materials of the swallow’s nest, a recurring theme at this boutique Franschhoek wine farm with its backdrop of vineyards and mountains. As a destination wedding and event venue, it’s intimate and versatile, its uncluttered spaces inspiring flights of the imagination when it comes to decor: glass stacking doors open onto a dam, lush indigenous gardens are accented by sculptures and a wide lawn is backed by glorious mountain views.

A modern venue

In 2015, businessman Ndavhe Mareda bought Paserene’s 12 hectares with winemaker Martin Smith as his partner and, along with general manager Stephanie Duval, they have created a thoroughly modern venue, and a beautifully crafted portfolio of equally elegant wines.

Intimate weddings

The Nest tasting room is ideal for intimate weddings, seating up to 50 guests indoors and opening out onto a verandah overlooking the dam. Wood-burning fireplaces keep it cosy in winter. Outdoor weddings on the lush lawns to one side of the tasting room give that archetypal Franschhoek backdrop of vines and mountains and accommodate up to 150 guests.

And it’s not just for weddings… think cocktail-and-canapé events, pre-wedding get-togethers, birthday parties, baby showers, or just a private lunch or dinner. Add in a jazz band, marimba group or other outside entertainment on their list for an extra-special vibe.

Wedding venue package includes:

• use of tasting room tables and chairs
• use of fully equipped kitchen
• back-up generator
• bar (cash or open) with two bar staff on duty
• disabled parking
• set-up from 9am on day of event
