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):
24 hours + = 100% REFUND
Less than 24 hours before scheduled TIME SLOT = No Refund

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.

Tickets are to be collected on the day of your tour. Please be at the Ticket Office +/-20 minutes prior to your departure time.

Please take note that pets are not permitted on the tour.

Customer Reviews

amazing experience, what a way to enjoy part of our honeymoon - Merrick


It was an enjoyable ride with good weather and happy travel companions. We would have liked to explore more of the wine region and growers of Franschoek with the tram instead of the bus. All together it was a nice outing. - Michael


Great welcome by helpful and entertaining staff - Victoria


Absolutely beautiful experience. The wine tastings were very lovely and every single estate was gorgeous. We managed to visit 4 out of the 8 possible estates on the line. The weather wasn't playing with us on the day, it poured most of it, but that made the experience super cozy. 10/10 would recommend to anyone coming to South Africa. - Sarah


It was an amazing and very enjoyable experience. - Penny
