Welcoming back old friends
Besides the trusted venues above, The Galileo is happy to welcome back Allée Bleue in Franschhoek and Rhebokskloof in Paarl, which were both a part of the cinemagic experience in the past.

Allée Bleue, one of the oldest estates in our summer rotation (est. 1690), brings heritage and class, and more recently was selected as the new venue for Kamers Makers Market in Cape Town. Near Paarl, Rhebokskloof Estate is back in the mix, and with a lovely new restaurant to boot. The green, rolling, leafy lawns of these stunning Winelands estates offer views of mountains, lakes or a river and more.
