The Franschhoek Wine Tram is one of South Africa's most beloved experiences — and for good reason. This charming open-air tram winds through the spectacular Franschhoek Valley, stopping at some of the country's most celebrated wine estates.
Your day begins with pick-up from your Cape Town accommodation. After a scenic 45-minute drive through the Winelands, you'll board the vintage-style tram and choose from multiple routes, each visiting different estates. Hop on and off at your leisure — spend time savouring award-winning Pinotage, Chenin Blanc, and MCC at estates like La Motte, Grande Provence, Rickety Bridge, and Haute Cabrière.
Between tastings, enjoy artisanal chocolate, cheese pairings, and gourmet lunches at world-renowned restaurants. The valley's dramatic mountain backdrop and French Huguenot heritage make every moment Instagram-worthy.
