EXCEPTIONAL WINE & CUISINE EXPERIENCE

Franschhoek

Activity Description

With the Exceptional Wine & Cuisine Experience, guests are treated to a day of exceptional luxury, travelling via tram and tram-bus to 3 different pairing experiences.

Guests depart from the Franschhoek Terminal at 10:15 am and enjoy a complimentary coffee and Beignet while awaiting their departure. Guests travel via tram and tram bus to three pre-selected wine estates.

Throughout the course of the day, guests are treated to a number of pairing experiences, including a breakfast pairing, a MCC & truffle pairing, an indulgent food & wine pairing lunch, and a dessert & wine pairing. After a full day of food, wine and festivities, guests return to the Franschhoek Terminal at approximately 5 pm.

The tour is strictly a wine-tasting experience and does not host celebration events such as birthdays or bachelor/bachelorette parties as the estates visited are primarily wine-tasting venues and not party venues. In order to properly exercise their duties, the Franschhoek Wine Tram staff members place a legitimate expectation on all guests not to behave in an unacceptably loud, disruptive, offensive, or intoxicated manner. Should any such behaviour be exhibited the Franschhoek Wine Tram reserves its right to suspend or withdraw its services. All vehicles are fitted with CCTV and monitored throughout the service.

Customer Reviews

We booked full day Exceptional Wine & Cuisine Experience and it was amazing! Our guide Simon was so great, helpful, funny and enthusiastic, he made this day unforgettable. We visited 3 beautiful but very different wine estates, had lots of wine tastings, so much food (don't make mistake of having breakfast at hotel as we did), learned a lot about wine making process and just enjoyed the day, would recommend this tour to everyone! - Ekaterina


Simon was amazing. He did a wonderful job of connecting with all of us individually and showed such passion and enthusiasm for wine making in South Africa. It was an incredible experience and memories will last a lifetime. - Pete


We can't speak highly enough of our experience with the Exceptional Wine & Cuisine experience. We already recommended it to several other couples that we encountered on the rest of our trip to South Africa. Simon was the best guide that we could have hoped for - he was so animated and made learning about the entire wine-making process really interesting and exciting. We stopped at Paserene for breakfast, had a massive and delicious lunch at Grande Provence and finished our trip at Haute Cabriere. Don't make the same mistake we did - we'd forgotten we'd get breakfast and decided to have a big breakfast before we started our day of drinking and got SO MUCH FOOD! Come hungry, and thirsty! - Christopher


Excellent organisation. Roger, our guide, professional and friendly. Level of detail well-pitched. Good variety of vineyards. Fab lunch. Very nice wines. A great day out. Thank you. - Bob


This was advertised as an exceptional experience and it certainly lived up to the title. Simon, the guide, was excellent and the food and wine surpassed all expectations. - Ferguson
