Experience the magic of the Cape Winelands in the most relaxing and scenic way with our Hop-on-Hop-off Franschhoek Wine Tram tour, including return shared transfers from Cape Town. This thoughtfully curated experience is perfect for wine lovers who value flexibility, comfort, and personal attention. With hotel pickup and drop-off included, you’ll avoid the hassle of navigating or joining large crowds. Travel in a small group of no more than 10 guests as you journey to the charming village of Franschhoek, where your Wine Tram adventure begins. Your ticket for the tram is included, allowing you to explore one of eight beautiful wine estate routes at your own pace — sampling award-winning wines, enjoying cellar tours, or simply soaking in vineyard views.
What makes this tour truly unique is the added convenience and peace of mind provided by your personal guide, who remains at your service throughout the day. Unlike standard tram tours, if you happen to miss a tram at any of the estates, you won’t have to wait an hour for the next one — your guide will pick you up and transfer you to your next chosen stop. This flexibility allows you to focus on enjoying your wine tasting experiences rather than stressing about schedules. You only pay for the tastings at the wine farms you visit, making it a customizable and cost-effective way to explore one of South Africa’s most picturesque wine regions.

It was a really nice experience. We took the blue line, which is relatively central in the town. We visited 4 wineries, all a bit different, and we spent 1 hour at each. It was perfectly enough for a day, but we would spend 2 hour in the one where we take our lunch. In 1 hour, lunch and wine tasting felt a bit rushed. Our guides were nice and friendly especially Asa, with whom we had a nice chat on our last shuttle.
Such a pleasant experience! Absolute wonderful wine tasting with Caleb at Eikehof, great brownie pairing at Lynx and a delicious chicken burger at Grande Provence. The wine tram and wine bus staff was professional and helpful at all times. Highly recommended!
We visited the Franschhoek Wine Tram during our honeymoon and enjoyed it so much that we decided to do it twice! We did the Pink Line on the first day and the Blue Line on the second. Both were amazing and offered a great mix of wineries - some accessible by tram and others by bus. The tram estates are definitely the most popular, but we’d really recommend making time for the bus route too. There are some real hidden gems along the way - for example, on the Pink Line bus route we stopped at Pigcasso, where you can see art painted by a pig and even feed some of the animals! Across both days we met Bati, who told us he was in training. Bati was absolutely wonderful - so friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in our experience. Each time we hopped on the bus, he checked in with us, offered great recommendations, and even suggested we visit the Franschhoek Monument, which we hadn’t heard of before. We’re so glad we went - it was a lovely spot and a great tip! We really wish Bati all the best with his training - he’s already a treasure to the team. The entire operation is so well run. Both the trams and buses were perfectly on time, and every staff member we encountered was friendly and professional. We can’t fault a thing! If you’re ever in the area, we highly recommend doing the Franschhoek Wine Tram - it’s such a fun and memorable way to explore the vineyards.
I will suggest to have a vip tour (Private tour) Yes - experience is higher in price, but definitely worth it! Best experience so far in SA! Yes only three wineries - but you are not in a rush You eat delicious food - paired 100% nicely You have time to enjoy atmosphere! Will be back 100% !!!! Note 📝 in advance for allergies, the staff was very helpful to accommodate gluten free intolerance on spot, but be careful to note it in advance. Visited in June 2025 - so not so many people! Enjoyed our time very much !
If you initially find the different lines a little confusing, then I highly recommend booking one of the tours. We did the Exceptional Wine & Cuisine tour. The experience was incredible. Our guide and the wineries that were chosen were all perfect. The food was delicious from breakfast to evening dessert. Our guide, Courtney was incredibly accommodating. She ensured our experience was nothing less than spectacular. Valentino and Taylor helped us at the station and were fantastic hosts while we waited for our tram to arrive. The whole team was great.
