It was very nice - Orit
Superhelpful staff at tram station such a great day out the wine farms were amazing thank you! - Claire
What a lovely day on the Franschhoek Blue Line Tram and Bus. Starting on the 10am tram, with a welcome drink felt too early for us to begin wine tasting so we jyst wandered around Rickety Bridge and explored artwork in Grand Provence. We did a tasting and cheese pairing, at Franschhoek Cellar, all delicious, especially Chenin Blanc. We transferred to the bus and had lunch and tasting at Maison, then another tasting at Paserene, with the most wonderful Syrah, and a coffee and wander at Holden Manz, catching the last bus back. Perfect Day! - Shirley
Es war ein tolles Erlebnis. Die Organisation und das Personal waren einfach toll. Unvergessene Momente!! Dankeschon fur diesen tollen Tag!! - Alpha
Even of you don't want to taste wine, the wine tram is a perfect outing. It took me some time to understand how the tramlines worked but the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I can really recommend doing this. It's a good way to explore the surroundings and especially if you want to taste wine. The wine tastings are very reasonably priced and you will visit the most beautiful estates. - Rolie
