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

I really like the revisions made to the entire system. Less lines with dedicated wineries per line cuts down on the confusion when trying to pick the line you want to use. Having an hour at each winery on a particular line is a great improvement. We picked the blue line because of the wineries included with excellent white wines. The hostesses on the bus were helpful, friendly and really made our experience outstanding. - Julia

We had a great time on the wine team. Our guide was excellent and the team and buses were on schedule. Highly recommended!! - Joel

Hallo, liebes Team der Wein -- Tram, es war eine sehr tolle Erfahrung fur uns. Auf unserer Reise durch Sudafrika war diese Station besonders interessant. Die Organisation war sehr gut. Wir haben bei der Gelegenheit eine nette Familie aus Dorpen kennen gelernt und mit Ihnen ihren Wein geniessen durfen. Herzlichen Dank, vielleicht konnen wir sie wieder einmal besuchen. Besten Gruss, Wilhelm Werning - Werning,

We enjoyed our visit to Franschoek. From the beginning when we got on the bus to when we got off the tram everything was lovely. We made some friends had great food and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The wines were exceptional . My partner particularly enjoyed travelling by tractor. - Richard

Absolutely amazing! Our favourite part of our trip to SA. - Olivia
