The tour is strictly a wine-tasting experience and does not host celebration events such as birthdays or bachelor/bachelorette parties as the estates visited are primarily wine-tasting venues and not party venues. In order to properly exercise their duties, the Franschhoek Wine Tram staff members place a legitimate expectation on all guests not to behave in an unacceptably loud, disruptive, offensive, or intoxicated manner. Should any such behaviour be exhibited the Franschhoek Wine Tram reserves its right to suspend or withdraw its services. All vehicles are fitted with CCTV and monitored throughout the service.

Customer Reviews

We had the best day, it was our first visit to cape Town. We had made enquiries prior to our trip, they were so helpful with every question. We decided on the red line and we also added on transfers from where we were staying at the V&A waterfront. the cost of the tickets and transfer were very reasonable. Our driver arrived over an hour early than scheduled and waited accordingly we managed to get out to him half an hr early though and had a pleasant drive to the terminal. We got our timetable, a coffee and a treat along with a wine bag there. We absolutely loved the vineyards and managed to go to 4 (Eikehof, Lynx with a 2hr stop at one (Paserene). All the staff, tastings and food that we had were amazing. We purchased wine at two vineyards and received a sticker with a number so it meant that once our day was over we were back at the terminal and grabbed a much needed coffee and collected our wine. We plan on returning to Cape Town and will 110% be booking another wine tour might even do the same line as it was so good! - Sharron
