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 had a wonderful day with the Exceptional Wine & Cuisine Experience. We visited three lovely wineries, in beautiful settings with excellent wine and food. All staff at the wineries we visited were attentive, helpful and friendly. Our guide from the Franschhoek Wine Tram was very friendly and helpful throughout our experience. Everything was wonderfully organised. The experience is highly recommended. - Imran


We had a wonderful time. Our hostess was terrific and the stops that we made were very enjoyable. There were just 6 of us on our tour. I imagine that it wouldn't be as much fun and personal with a full group. - Caroline


My wife Amanda and I had the pleasure of joining this tour during our honeymoon in Cape Town, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The entire experience was exceptionally well organized, and every winery we visited was outstanding. We started the day at Pasarene, where we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast paired with an excellent wine tasting. Next, we visited Grand Provence for lunch, which offered delicious food, fantastic wines, and impeccable service. The day ended at Klein Goederust with a delightful nougat and wine pairing that was both unique and memorable. Throughout the day, we were impressed by the quality of the wines, the beautiful scenery, the warm hospitality, and the excellent food at each stop. We also had the opportunity to meet wonderful people, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A special mention goes to our guide, who was absolutely exceptional---friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the region and its wines. She truly made the day unforgettable. This was the perfect honeymoon experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town and the Winelands. 10/10 -- absolutely outstanding! - Osli


Fantastic day on the Wine & Cuisine Experience. Lovely guide and friendly staff, exceptional food and wine. Very clean and well organised Excellent value for money. - David


This tour is simply the best way to see the vineyards of Franschhoek - the whole day was just perfect with visits to beautiful vineyards, plenty of wonderful wine and fantastic food. Our guide (Courtney) was very friendly and knowledgeable and kept the group on track without any stress. The reps at the vineyards were equally good (especially at Paserene - https://paserene.com/) It is quite an expensive tour but 100% worth it, so much so that I have now done it twice! - Jim
