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

Absolutely Amazing Experience ! The Tour Guide, Simon Theron was brilliant !! Really made our visit to Franshhoek !! Simon's 'delivery' was SO clear - did not even need a microphone above the background noise of the Tram / or Bus. Also, very interesting facts put across in a simple and amusing way. His finale of taking off the top of two Sparkling Bottles of South African Wine with a Sabre delighted everyone and was a brilliant bit of theatre !! The Wines and Food were of the highest quality - particularly the Lunch - where there was also an amazing Art and Sculpture Exhibition. It's hard to fault anything on this superb experience ! But, just one suggestion :- The 'Exceptional' Tour Participants were 'mixed' at times with the other 'Tours' which led to a little bit of confusion where other 'Tours' thought they were included with us. Simon 'kept the others' at bay, but it would help a lot if 'stick on' Badges were issued to denote who was in the 'Exceptional' Tour Group. I think Simon said that Badges had been suggested for the 'Exceptional' Participants, but, there was a view that they would not like that feature. I can confirm that I believe this would be quite acceptable and recommend it. - Leonard


A wonderful and relaxing event. From the moment of arrival to final departure we were totally cared for without any over attention from our hostess for the day. Terriffic venues, wonderful food and wine pairings in a totally relaxed atmousphere made all the more special by having a small group of eight and fortunate to have six wonderful joint guests who were great company. Once the ice was broken the day was full of fun and laughter. Good value, great food, great wines and great company and great praise for our hostess for the day who was wonderful! - Richard
