The wine tram was a great experience. We started with the bus first which was a nice, relaxed start. We had our first stop all to ourselves which was nice. We then hopped onto the tram and enjoyed the switch to a busier vibe. The wineries on the pink line were lovely and we were able to swap between the bus and the tram a couple of times and managed to check out 4-5 of the wineries. - Amber
It was a wonderful full on experience where we enjoyed some good wine and delicious food. We are now converts to Leopards Leap wine and hope we will find it in UK on our return home. - Jean
Stunning ? - Mariane
This is well worth doing - the staff on the tram/buses are very helpful and pleasant and the whole system runs really well and strictly on time. Pigcasso ( on the Pink Line) is well worth a visit if you're keen on animals and wine. Highly recommended - David
Loved my first vineyard experience---time flew by way too fast. From the amazing wines and welcoming smiles to the breathtaking views and scenery, everything was perfect. The train and bus rides were so much fun, and I absolutely loved the tractor experience. Already counting down to my next visit - Justina
