Une experience que je recommande, gouter des vins Africains excellent dans une ambiance incroyable - CHASTEL
What a brilliant experience! I would definitely recommend it. The tram ran perfectly on time and we really enjoyed the couple of estates we visited. The scenery and service was amazing. It was also good value. - Teresa
Ein perfekter Tag mit phantastischen Weinen in Franschhoek. Die Tram, Restaurants, uberall nette Leute und ja am Ende ist man leicht angetrunken ;o) Das war nicht mein letzter Besuch in Sudafrika. - Lars
We truly enjoyed our experience on the wine tram in Stellenbosch. The Blue Line was beautifully organized and allowed us to visit two lovely vineyards at a relaxed pace. The only small downside is that the route felt shorter than we had expected. A special mention to Louise's Fault---without a doubt, the best nachos we've ever had! It was a wonderful moment overall, and we would still highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the region. - Sophie
