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.

CANCELLATION POLICY (All services including chauffeur/transfer services):

Please send a cancellation email to info@winetram.co.za including your booking ID on the subject to request a refund.

Passengers may dine at one of several restaurants on the tour. To avoid disappointment, it is highly recommended that passengers make reservations for lunch/picnic at least 24-48 hours in advance. Food or open alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the tour though food and drinks are available for purchase at the wine estates. Wine tastings can be purchased at each wine estate directly.

The Wine Tram has been a revelation to the Cape and is one of the best experiences in the whole region. You get to see the natural beauty of the area, whilst visiting the stunning wine farms and tasting a variety of wines, the knowledge of the staff on the Tram is excellent and the whole service is slick and professional. Congratulations to the whole team and to the owners for the vision to create this incredible setup that is now being enjoyed by thousands of people and for the positive impact and ripple effect it plays into the economy. - Kusasa
