GROUP EXPERIENCE GD 1

FRANSCHHOEK

Activity Description

Please note groups exceeding 32 guests can contact our offices directly, at groups@winetram.co.za

Groups experience a unique and leisurely way to see the Groot Drakenstein Valley as they journey through rolling vineyards, stopping at some of South Africa’s oldest and most distinguished wine estates. The itinerary covers up to three wine estates in the Groot Drakenstein Valley, each with a character as rich and individual as the wines they produce.

FORMAT
Groups will visit up to 3 pre-selected wine estates in the Groot Drakenstein Valley over the course of the day by double-decker tram (shared with other passengers) and open-air tram bus.

Start @ 10:35 am
Plaisir (Wine Tasting)
Allee Bleue (Lunch)
Boschendal (Wine Tasting)

Please note all lunch bookings will be subject to availability.

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

Eugene was very helpful during our group booking. Courtney who was our group guide for the day went out of her way to engage with members of our group and was extremely pleasant at all times, she did a great job. - Andrew


So pleased with our group experience. It was so well organised and everything ran so smoothly. Our guide, Amahle, was so helpful and accommodating. - Sandra


We had a very nice Group Experience. We were very pleased that you were able to pick us up at our hotel and return after the three stops. We will be back - Knud


This was an amazing experience. We had 32 people who were visiting from the UK for our wedding. The Vineyards were well organised and had an area set up for us on arrival with our own tasting experts. We ate at Zorgvliet and the food was exceptional. The day was well worth it and I look forward to returning. - Andy
