Stunning day [?] The whole process of booking the tram , Lunch was so easy it made a difference as we travelled from the UK. The timings were so spot on it was as smooth as any process could be. Staff were lovely and the wineries were amazing. Worth every penny spent , a MUST visit for any tourist. - Paul
The wine team experience was very well organised and went smoothly. All the staff were helpful and explained the service. We would recommend it as a novelty way to visit the vineyards. - Louise
The wine tram is a great concept, meaning you can leave the car at home. The station serves as the base for a mix of tram and tram bus and is directly at the end of the village, with a set of colour coded routes. It's really well organised, the staff are very helpful an the vineyards are beautiful making it a great day out. - Mark
