wonderful experience thank you very much! - Ashley
This is a must if you ever visit the area. We had a brilliant day and the wines we tasted were superb. The use of the bus and tram is so easy and straightforward and the staff were excellent with their help and instructions. We booked lunch at the Lynx Estate prior to our trip and it was excellent, washed down with fine wines. A brilliant day out and we will return to try another line !! - Pete
A truly wonderful day filled with astonishing views and seductive tastes, both of wine and of exciting food. An early departure with the bus, and getting off at the first stop, Eikehof, turned out to be a winner; almost no other guests had gotten there yet and we were welcomed by the owners who could spend quite a few moments with us for lovely chatting. The day went on in a relaxing pace visiting several breathtakingly beautiful wineries, and rewarded us with lots of impressions and some souvenirs. - Eric
Once a year I visit Franschhoek with a friend, and we always take the Wine Tram. Our experience this time was as good as always - amazing choice of estates, friendly and upbeat hosts on the bus, and overall happy vibes. We try a different line each year and it's tough to pick a favourite - Debbie
it was a worlds experience. we enjoyed everything there. Well done - Phindile
