Franschhoek Wine Tram
Posted on Wed April 1, 2020.
Franschhoek has been offering good wine, scrumptious food and breathtaking vineyard views for over 300 years – it’s no wonder the region is considered the food-lover’s capital in South Africa, and the destination to do wine tasting in Cape Town and surrounds.
The best way to explore the many wine farms, Franschhoek restaurants and wine-related activities in the area is undoubtably on the Franschhoek Wine Tram: a vintage-style, open-air railway system that takes visitors from estate to estate, with a seasoned and knowledgeable guide weaving the tales of the area into their experience. It’s not only a curated taste of the best spots to visit in the area, it’s also a fun and carefree day out.
THE EXPERIENCE:
Franschhoek Wine Tram currently offers eight hop-on hop-off lines to choose from each visiting a selection of wine estates showcasing a separate part of the Franschhoek Valley.
Passengers board the tour at the Franschhoek Terminal located on the corner of Main Road and Cabriere Street and are transported by a combination of tram and tram-bus around a loop of stops allowing passengers to hop-on hop-off at any of the stops.
Each of the lines has a wide selection of wine estates to visit from boutique to marquee estates and each offers a unique perspective on the Franschhoek wine experience.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Passengers will be transported by tram and open-air tram-bus around a loop of stops with a selection of wine estates.
- In addition to the wine tasting activities offered at each stop, several of the wine estates on the tour boast world-class restaurants serving lunches and picnics.
- The tram or tram-bus passes each stop according to the timetable allowing passengers to hop-on hop-off at their convenience.
- Wine purchased while on the tour can be handed over to the host for later collection at the end of the tour
BOOKING:
- Price: Adult R260 / Child (3-17) R90
- Wine tasting fees at each estate (between R25 and R150 per person) are not included in the tour price
