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.

Food or open alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the tour though food and drinks are available for purchase at the wine estates. Wine tastings can be purchased at each wine estate directly.

Customer Reviews

Very fun. Great wine. Great views - Thomas


Franschhoek Wine Tram (Blue Line) -- 10/10! The Franschhoek Wine Tram Blue Line was an unforgettable experience! Despite a bit of rain, the day was perfect, and we loved every moment. We visited six wine estates, each offering something special -- from stunning views to exceptional wines and warm hospitality. The tram made exploring effortless, and the team's organization and friendliness added to the charm. Rain or shine, this is a must-do for anyone visiting Franschhoek. We'll definitely be back! - Jonas


An amazing experience and such friendly staff. WoW!! The advice given before the trip was great, how we can factor lunch into the day as we spent the day celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. The bus driver and guide was so funny and very knowledgeable about the wine farms and route. We really had a fantastic time and will be back to do the other lines. Great experience and highly recommended. - Colleen


It was such a beautiful experience. The staff members are knowledgeable and friendly. - Tawanda
