Franschhoek Wine Tram Hop-on Hop-off Tour with Cape Town Transfers
The Franschhoek Wine Tram takes you through the heart of the Cape Winelands on a hop-on hop-off adventure that visits seven to eight premium wineries. Your day starts with morning pickup from your Cape Town accommodation, followed by a scenic transfer to the historic Franschhoek Valley. Once you arrive at the tram station around 9:30am, you'll receive your ticket and can begin exploring the region's finest wine estates at your own pace.
The vintage tram operates on a well-organised schedule that allows you to hop off at any winery that catches your interest, spend as much time as you like tasting wines and exploring the grounds, then catch the next tram to continue your journey. Each estate offers its own character, from historic cellars to modern tasting rooms, showcasing the diverse winemaking styles that make Franschhoek famous. Your guide ensures you stay connected with the group throughout the day, so you won't miss your return transport to Cape Town.
What is Included
