EXCEPTIONAL WINE & CUISINE EXPERIENCE

Franschhoek

Extensive roadworks in Franschhoek, Drakenstein, Simondium, and Klapmuts may cause delays. Please factor this into your travel plans to the Franschhoek Wine Tram. Service may be affected on your booking day.

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 (group of 9 adults) had a fantastic experience on the Exceptional Wine & Cuisine Experience!! A fun day out with exceptional food and wine - the name of the tour delivered on its title 100%. Highly recommend this tour as it takes out the guess work as the day is fully planned for you. Thanks to the Franschhoek Wine tour team. - Garth


We had an excellent experience on this tour. Catherine, our wine advisor, was very knowledgeable and guided the tour very well. The food and wine were excellent. All arrangements, from our collection from our hotel, throughout the tour and our return were all perfect. - Martin


Great experience, everything was perfect and or guide was super knowledgable and friendly, would definitely recommend! - Dominique


Do it! Just do it. We chose the hosted tour so that the plethora of choices as to which wine farms to go to were made by the Franschhoek Wine Tram team. Yes, it's not cheap but it is excellent value. For us that was definitely the right call to make. As a consequence we went to three wine farms and at each enjoyed carefully curated pairings of food and wine. The food was exceptional and the wines very good, and our preconceptions about which wine ought to go with which food were thoroughly challenged in the most positive way. There were 4 in my party, and there were two other couples in our group - 8 in total; a perfect number for our guide Tameron who managed the tour with grace and charm. The 7 hours that our tour took passed in a flash, but is lodged firmly in our memories as a wonderful thing to have done. Just do it... - Malachy


We enjoyed this way of experiencing the wines staff were excellent and all vineyards looked after us so well. Would recommend to all. - Robert
