We caught the tram bus to Mount Rochelle, which is a lovely vineyard with amazing views over the valley. We arrived quite early and were the only ones who got off there for our tasting. We then visited Haute Cabriere for a tour and lunch. We had a great experience here and everyone was super helpful and lovely. After lunch, we were supposed to get on the tram to continue tastings but I didn't feel great so we went back to our apartment. - Peter
The overall experience was one of the best we have ever had. Beautiful food, wine and people who really went out of their way to make it an extremely enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend this tour. Extremely well organized - Michael
A great experience and a must if visiting the area our first stop to taste fizz set up the day well - Jeremy
The wine tram in Franschhoek is a world class establishment and attraction. I have done all the lines and never had a bad experience. The staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable. The whole system of drop off pick up really works and were very much on time. 10/10 experience. - Karien
