Profile
Landtscap Wedding Venue Stellenbosch is one of the Cape Winelands’ most architecturally distinctive contemporary wedding venues — a trim, modern venue designed by leading architectural firm TV3, situated on Fransmanskraal, a working fruit and wine farm in Devonvale, Stellenbosch, on Blumberg Road past the Devonvale Golf Estate. With a wonderfully neutral palette of raw surfaces and organic design, floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding doors on three sides, an insulated water-wise rooftop garden, and a 270-degree view of the Stellenbosch mountains and winelands, Landtscap hosts only one wedding at a time — ensuring service, privacy, and exclusivity are at their peak. The indoor area seats up to 160 guests at beautiful rectangular oak tables that require no linens, opens onto a wooden deck perfect for cocktails, and is complemented by on-site accommodation for up to 14 guests in luxurious, fully equipped homes on the farm.
The Architecture: TV3-Designed, Neutral, and Light-Filled
Landtscap’s defining quality is its architecture. Designed by leading architectural firm TV3, the venue presents a wonderfully neutral palette of raw surfaces and organic design — a deliberate departure from the more traditional Cape Dutch wedding venue aesthetic that dominates much of the Winelands. Bathed in warm, natural light, the interior is insulated by a water-wise rooftop garden — a sustainability feature that also contributes to the building’s thermal performance and visual softness from above.
Ceiling-to-floor windows and glass sliding doors on three sides allow guests to take in the majestic landscape — creating what the venue describes as inside-out entertaining. The contrast between the trim, modern interior and the dramatic natural backdrop of vineyards and mountains is the visual signature that distinguishes Landtscap from its more rustic Stellenbosch competitors.
270-Degree Mountain and Vineyard Views
Landtscap’s location on Fransmanskraal farm provides a 270-degree view of the Stellenbosch mountains and winelands — panoramic views that transform from sun-drenched vistas by day to starlit panoramas by evening. The expansive lawn area accommodates ceremonies with the dramatic Stellenbosch mountains serving as a natural altar backdrop — couples exchange vows with one of the Cape’s most photographed mountain ranges as their ceremony setting.
The Spaces: Indoor Reception, Lawn, Houten Dek, and Habitat
Landtscap is made up of several distinct spaces that together create a flexible, multi-zone event experience:
The Indoor Reception Space — the main TV3-designed venue, seating up to 160 guests at rectangular oak tables (10 guests per table comfortably), with unique crockery, elegant glassware, a main bar at the back of the venue, spacious bathrooms, climate-controlled and dimmable lighting, and block-out blinds.
The Main Lawn Area — used for ceremonies or afternoon relaxation, with the mountain backdrop as the natural focal point.
Houten Dek — the wooden deck that surrounds the front of the indoor reception venue, perfect for cocktails and pre-dinner drinks while taking in the view.
Habitat — a lower terrace, ideal for pre-dinner gatherings or post-wedding events.
Welkom Tuinen — the welcome lawn or garden, providing the arrival experience for guests.
Outdoor furniture — benches, ottomans, coffee and cocktail tables, and umbrellas — is included in the venue hire, removing one more logistical consideration for couples planning their day.
All-Inclusive: Catering, Accommodation, and On-Site Coordination
Landtscap’s all-inclusive model covers:
- On-site accommodation for up to 14 guests in luxurious, fully equipped, modern, styled homes on the farm — ideal for the bridal party, family, or close friends

Pre-Wedding and Post-Wedding Events

Fransmanskraal: Working Fruit and Wine Farm
Landtscap sits within Fransmanskraal, a working fruit and wine farm in Devon Valley between Stellenbosch and Cape Town — a true sanctuary amidst vineyard-clad slopes and majestic mountain ranges. Fransmanskraal operates as both a working farm and an exclusive Stellenbosch destination for weddings, events, and accommodation, with the farm’s ongoing agricultural life adding authenticity to the rural Winelands setting.
