We had an amazing time, my girlfriend and me. Her favorite was Lynx and mine Grande Province, but all places are beautiful and all the people that guided us were so lovely. The Orange Line is on our list for our next ZA visit. - Hong
Well run service with friendly staff. Red route was a good mix of wine farms, which we've never been to before. Dedicating more time to around three wineries on the route makes for the best experience that's less rushed. Paserene and Haute Cabriere were our favourites on the route in terms of wine and food/snacks. - Bavesh
Everything was absolutely perfect. The lady at the ticket desk was exceptionally helpful, explaining in detail how the train and bus schedule worked. The guys on the bus were friendly and helpful. The staff at the wine farms were very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. It was a perfect day. - Anuschka
