We had a great day on the blue route, each vineyard was great in very unique ways, but our standout favourite has to be Holden Manz. The hospitality we received was fantastic, we felt very welcome from all the staff and the wine and food was excellent. I have since recommended the blue route to other friends purely on how great Holden Manz was. The tram staff were also great, assisting us with recommendations and being very accommodating. - James
We had a good time and the staff was very friendly - Eddie
Very pleasant experience, great service - Erik
Brilliant day, great wineries everything ran like clock work, would definitely do again - Shaun
The journey on the Tram was unforgettable - it was like going back in time. Visiting the various farms and tasting their wines with the provided snacks was a special occasion with a different vibe at each farm. The staff is so helpful and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment and most definitely will recommend it and do another line when visiting Franschoek some day soon. Be Blessed - regards - Mandy
