Outstanding This is not the first time and believe the new start and stop point is a great improvement. - Nick
Great experience, the wine team was easy to navigate and was a great experience. The wineries were very pretty. - Emma
A great way to see the beauty of the landscape and enjoy amazing wine. A real fun day out. - Sarah
Amazing!! I highly recommend the navy line which also has Gin tasting! The tram tour was amazing and the team was so helpful including guiding on how best to go about it. We arrived 2 hours before our start and they advised to actually uber to the 1st winery and have breakfast there while we waited and this was the best suggestion ever! We had a chance to fully explore the winery!! Definitely doing this again! Beautiful winery tours! - Malebogo
We recently travelled on the Navy Line tram. Great service and friendly staff both on the tram and at the depots. Fantastic views and certainly a different experience which was a very enjoyable way to travel between the Vin Yards which are also well worth the experience. Highly recommend to anybody. The time table can be a little confusing but just as the staff as they are very helpful but you can also find a video on how to use it if you Goggle. - Angus
