This was our trip on the transatlantic line so we chose the Navy Line as it was a bit further out. All of the wineries we visited were in beautiful locations and we had some great tastings. The bus or tram between the wineries was always on time. - Allan
We had a fantastic day on the tram, we were based in Franschhoek so it was just up the road. We chose the Navy line on the advice of our host as the vineyards were on the outside of the town. Trans and buses beautifully maintained and knowledgeable hosts. Plenty of info relating to the vineyards, we chose 3 Allee Bleu, Plaisir (where we had a lovely platter with G&T for lunch) and Boschendal. If you go to Boschendal stay on the bus and have your tastings in the restaurant area. It's much nicer. Added bonus when we got back to the tram station was the bus that dropped us back into the centre of town. We couldn't fault anything about the day. - Martin
