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

This was my fifth trip on the tram. First time on the Pink line. I enjoy the whole experience immensely and love to take overseas visitors as it is so well run. We had a full day of fun, great lunch at Leopard's Leap, a couple of wine tastings and finished off with a delicious cheesecake and coffee at Franschhoek Wine Cellar. Bought wine at most of our stops. - Vivienne


We had a wonderful experience on the pink line. Great service and lovely wineries on the route. Our favorite was Pigcasso. Lots of entertainment from the goats and a very unique experience. - Gemma


Great fun on the tram, the guides were excellent and very clear. They even take your wine back to the tram station for you, so you don't have to carry them. The estates were fabulous, all of them unique. Chamonix rose was my favourite . Will be back in November. I can't wait! - Elizabeth


We initially found the bus and tram arrangements complicated but once you start using them it's very straight forward. A great service that allowed easy access to wineries. The host on the tram was brilliant - Mike


We had a wonderful day out on the wine tram and bus service. Visited some beautiful wineries and tasted some lovely wines. Would recommend the tram for a great day out without any pressure - Cunningham
