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):

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.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic! At 1st, from the tickets and timetable it seemed a bit complex to understand the arrangement but eventually I figured it out - sort of. However, once on the bus, Bernard and the driver made it perfectly clear and gave us a great guided tour of the wine farms listed. As the guide explains, more time in 3 or 4 farms is better that a short spell in all the farms on the tour which gave us more time to learn about the individual farms, try the wine and food available. Although not strictly a wine farm Pigcasso was my absolute favourite - the story there is amazing and lovely to see to wonderful work they are doing there plus meeting and feeding the animals. We shall certainly be back and pick a different tour next time - though we'll definitely visit Pigcasso again too :-) - BERNARD


Great fun day with a good selection of wine houses. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable - Heather


Very enjoyable trip on the Pink Line. Start early if you want to see more vineyards. - Susan


Such a fun day out! We loved riding on the tram and bus and visiting the variety of wineries. The staff were very helpful and checked our plan, it is much easier than the timetable suggests. We look forward to doing another line the next time we visit. - Alison


Very helpful, friendly staff - great idea, thoroughly enjoyed our various vineyard visits. Excellent concept and would definitely repeat. - Racher
