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.

Customer Reviews

Great way to both get customers out to wineries that are a little further out, as well as offering easy transportation (and a bit of fun, riding on the tram!). Don't go expecting to get just a thimbleful of each wine though! Plan to spend longer than you thought if you really want to savour the wines. - Mary


A great way to relax and enjoy a day out for wine tasting ,without the need to drive your vehicle That the way to do a days tasting - Keith


I had such a wonderful day on the Wine Tram! I spent a while overthinking which line to choose, but honestly, you can't go wrong in the stunning setting of Franschhoek. We were a group of four and took the Pink Line, which had something for everyone. The highlight of our day was Pigcasso. The animals were adorable, the scenery was beautiful, and the wine went down a treat. The tram itself was very well organised, and the staff were excellent. They were friendly, helpful, and patient with all our increasingly silly timing questions as the day (and the wine) went on. - Elle


The whole experience was AMAZING! We celebrated a friend's 40th and had a wonderful, beautiful day of fun on the tram. Highly recommend this service. On time, efficient, relaxing, amazing! - Nelle


Great way to visit the wineries of your choice. Staff were very friendly and helpful. - Alison
