A Must-Do Experience in the Cape Winelands! The Franschhoek Wine Tram Blue Line was one of the highlights of our time in South Africa. It's an incredibly relaxing and scenic way to experience the beautiful Franschhoek Valley without the stress of driving between wineries. The tram and tram-bus system is well organized, allowing you to hop on and off throughout the day at some of the region's most beautiful estates. The Blue Line offers an excellent variety of wineries, from historic estates with breathtaking mountain views to modern tasting rooms with outstanding hospitality. As the owner of KapuAfrica Travel, I especially appreciate experiences that allow our guests to immerse themselves in the local culture while enjoying world-class wine, food, and scenery. Whether you're an experienced wine enthusiast or simply looking for a fun day in the Cape Winelands, this excursion delivers. Our guests consistently enjoy the relaxed pace, exceptional service, and the opportunity to sample some of South Africa's finest wines while taking in spectacular vineyard and mountain views. We also love that there are excellent lunch options along the route, making it easy to turn the day into a memorable culinary experience. If you're visiting Cape Town, I highly recommend setting aside a full day for the Franschhoek Wine Tram. It's one of the most enjoyable and picturesque wine experiences anywhere in the world. --- Amanda, KapuAfrica Travel A More Authentic Experience - Amanda
Hi I'm a tour operator/ tour guide I bought 2 guest who are on their honeymoon from Italy and they had the best time they loved the wine tram so much - Makalisa
Staff amazing, farm visits great. Tram always on time! Just great to be in the area! A MUST for any tourist or local! - Meister
Had a wonderful 60th birthday time with my girlfriends. - Wanda
It was a lovely experience, with friendly and acommodating staff. We joined the tram late morning and was able to visit 4 farms for the day. Must say it might turn into a expensive exercise, with the cost for the tram and the costs of doing tastings at each farm. - Crystal
