The Wine Tram is a fun experience that provides hop on/hop off services. We took the orange line and it was such an easy ride. The tram comes every hour which is plenty of time to do a wine tasting at the stops you choose. It's a great option for those trying to see multiple wine farms in one day. - Jack
Had a great day out on the Wine Tram orange line in October. It's not yet peak season so got to enjoy the wineries without being too crowded and had fantastic weather. There is some roadwork going on in the area but it won't affect your day. We chose the Orange line to visit Babylonstoren, Bacco and Plaisir which was a nice mix of venue. Would definitely recommend the experience and would love to come back and try a few other lines in the future. It is definitely worth looking through the website information before you go - and understand the wine tram process in advance and plan out your day. The staff do explain it to you on the day, but pre-planning makes the day so much more enjoyable as we saw a few others being confused with the process. - Judith
What an amazing experience. This was so much fun, but even more important the staff were so friendly and helpful. The information about the upcoming frams were accurate and clearly communicated. I will definitely recommend this experience it was fantastic!! - Pierrette
We had an incredible time on the orange line. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, friendly, and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. - Erin
