I've done other lines before but this was my first time doing the Red Line. Did this for my girlfriend's birthday and she said it was an amazing experience, staff was super friendly (Kristen especially). Will definitely do it again!! - Dillon
My wife and I visited Franschoek in June and utilised the Red Line as my wife particularly enjoys sparkling wine. The Red line had a number of properties that fulfilled this criteria and we were not disappointed. Although the staff at the station could've been a bit friendlier we found the tram guide to be wonderful (Team K!). It was a beautiful day and you could easily feel like you were in France with the stunning views from Mont Rochelle and Haute Cabriere. Would thoroughly recommend the wine tram if you visit this beautiful town. - Kent
Great experience, we had to leave earlier so didn't get the chance to enjoy the full day experience. Definitely coming back for a full day experience - Lesego
Great way to visit wineries in the area Very unique and such a fun journey - Sheryle
We had a wonderful time! Our guide on our bus was amazing and super helpful to get us to our lunch reservation. - Abi
