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.

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.

Customer Reviews

Lovely experience and great fun. - Jo-Ann


What an amazing experience. Will go again when in Cape Town. So well organised and the service at the wineries outstanding. - Ruby


The experience, with its array of positive aspects, is impressive. Firstly, I'd like to highlight the quality of the wines. At the 4 wineries we visited (Rickety Bridge, Grand Provence, Franschhoek Cellar, and Haute Cabriere), we could truly attest to their excellence. Learning a bit about the history of each, along with their specialties, added another layer to our journey. Secondly, I must mention the convenience of the transportation. With a new boarding opportunity every 30 minutes, we had no worries at all. Additionally, the charm of the tram stands out as another delightful aspect of this experience. It's like taking a step back in time, experiencing those beautiful landscapes aboard such a special vehicle. Lastly, I'd like to extend my gratitude to all the helpful and friendly staff, always ready to assist. I highly recommend this tour and rate it a perfect 10! - Sergio


We spent a delightful half-day on the red line tram through three wine cellars. What a fantastic experience! From the punctual and organised tram to the friendly crew, every aspect was top-notch. The complementary wine and stunning scenery added to the enjoyment. Highly recommended! - Krystyna
