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.

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.

Customer Reviews

Eine sehr schone Weintour mit Besuch von 3 Weingutern -super organisiert tolle Weine und leckeres Mittagessen - Elke


This tour was excellent, we especially enjoyed the first vineyard as it was so informative and we loved the story behind the set up! - Sam


Everything was very nice our host treated us well and made sure we were happy One thing i can say is the actual tram part of the tour is very short. - Gregory


We had an amazing time---from the wine tasting and delicious food to the scenic ride with breathtaking views. Learning about the history of Franschhoek added so much depth to the experience. Our guide was incredibly friendly, gave us plenty of space to explore the vineyards, and even captured great photos of us. She went the extra mile to help us secure transport back to Cape Town. - Nokuthula


We had an exceptional personalized experience! Our guide was outstanding, striking the perfect balance between attention to detail and allowing us to soak it all in. The lunch was delicious, and the wine selection was impressive. Klein Goederust wine farm was a highlight for me - I loved its rich history and how it seamlessly blends with modern times. If you're visiting Cape Town, I highly recommend this experience. - Maimouna
