The Franschhoek Wine Tram on the Pink Line was a truly memorable experience and a fantastic way to explore this stunning wine region in a relaxed and enjoyable way. The day was well-organized, with a clear timetable and friendly staff who made everything run smoothly. We visited Rickety Bridge, Dieu Donne, and Chamonix -- each offering something unique: * Rickety Bridge impressed us with a professional and elegant wine tasting experience. The terrace offered beautiful views, the staff was welcoming, and the wines were exceptional -- a definite highlight of the day. * Dieu Donne stood out for its breathtaking panoramic views over the Franschhoek valley. The setting was absolutely stunning, and paired with high-quality wines, it made for a particularly memorable stop. * Chamonix had a more rustic, nature-focused charm. Tucked away in the forest, it offered a cozy and unique tasting location that felt refreshingly different. The wines were just as distinctive as the atmosphere. The whole tram experience was stress-free and enjoyable, with the flexibility to tailor the day to your own pace and preferences. Conclusion: The Pink Line of the Franschhoek Wine Tram is highly recommended -- especially with stops like Rickety Bridge, Dieu Donne, and Chamonix. A perfect blend of wine, scenery, and warm South African hospitality. - Jenny

We booked the tram to celebrate my father's 80th birthday and it was exact what he wanted. The efficiency, politeness and atmosphere was wonderful. Cannot fault the service and willingness to help from all the staff. It's a fantastic thing to do. The scenery, wines, food, all were excellent. Thank you so much for making my dad's day a huge success. - Amanda
