This activity is very well organized. Everything is explained. On our blue line trek, we started at La Bri. We had a 3 chocolate pairing with three red wines. There was a good explanation of the wines and the chocolates that paired with each wine. Excellent value. We stopped next at Holden Manz where we had a quick lunch. The vegan burger was excellent. We also walked some of the grounds. We then changed to the tram to visit Rickety Bridge. There was a sample of a Sauvignon blanc on the tram and it was very good. We walked the grounds for about 45 minutes before catching the next tram to Grande Provence. When we looked online prior to the trip we saw that Grande Provence has exceptional grounds and that substantially influenced our decision to go with the Blue Line. No description did justice to the grounds. Besides all the beautiful flowers, there were sculptures everywhere and a "museum" that included paintings and other art. We spent more than an hour viewing the art and touring the grounds. We are very happy with the choice of both the wine tram and the Blue Line. For the people who are more oenophiles than we are, it is worth noting that many estates offer a discount on wine purchases to bearers of tram tickets. - Carl
We had a splendid experience. The staff was amazing, the farms were to die for and went back home raving about the entire experience. Im not into wine like that but will definitely do it again for the hop on and off plus the specticular views and breeze. - Matshego
