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.

Customer Reviews

Great experience, I definitely recommend. - Reviewer


As an senior South African couple, we had never been to Franschoek, let alone the Wine Tram tour. We had no idea what to expect but the guides on each tram/bus were very helpful in explaining each stop along the way. I think for first-timers, you have to get the feel of it for the first trip, and then repeat it on another visit. It will probably be more relaxed and we would not spend half the time scrutinizing the schedule. It was a lovely warm windless day, so that added to the enjoyment of the day. - Pam


We thoroughly enjoyed this, especially Picasso! The lunch at Leopards Leap was fantastic! Thank you to everyone for all the tastings. - Salome


One of my best birthday experiences. All thee staff at all the winefarms was super nice and friendly. Will most definitely do it again - Eunice


Wonderful day exploring the vineyards. Had a wine tasting experience at Rickety Bridge and then a picnic lunch at Grand Provence. 2 beautiful vineyards and lovely food in the picnic under the trees. We stayed a 10 minute walk from the tram centre. - Paul
