Great day out to visit a number of wineries and let someone else do the driving. The Franschhiek tram team friendly and informative as were the guides at the wineries. Take the opportunity to talk to your fellow wine drinkers from around the world and you’ll get even more out of the day

we had a great day and met loads of interesting people. The tram made it lots of fun bumping into people at different wineries. There was a couple of times we took a bus past the destination just to get a tram back which was a waste of time but overall a great day. small tip, don't try squeeze in too many vineyards.

We took a bus from Camps Bay to Winelands where the tram was waiting. These wine estates were beautiful and wine tastings were very cheap. They say one has time to visit 4-5 estates, but we didn’t read the timetable well, and chose one estate where we had to spend more time than others, and didn’t eat there, so we had to eat in other estate and use two slots for that. In total we visited only three estates. But it was our fault. Anyway the experience was totally worth it, wines were excellent and Winelands make a beautiful scenery. If you want to get little tipsy and feel exclusive, this is for you! Thank you for a nice day!
