Franschhoek Wine Tram Explorer Tour from Cape Town
This full-day wine tour takes you from Cape Town to the prestigious Franschhoek Wine Valley, where you'll explore award-winning vineyards aboard the famous hop-on hop-off wine tram.

You'll ride both tram lines through the valley, stopping at carefully selected wine estates where you can sample local vintages and learn about the region's 300-year winemaking heritage rooted in French Huguenot traditions.
