The Franschhoek Wine Tram hop-on hop-off tour offers an unforgettable way to explore the soul of the Franschhoek Valley: picture-perfect vineyards, stunning landscapes, friendly faces, top-notch cuisine, exquisite wines, and a rich 300-year-old history. As you hop aboard this charming tour, you'll enjoy a leisurely ride through the rolling vineyards on an open-sided tram and open-air tram-bus, stopping at some of South Africa’s oldest and most prestigious wine estates.
The experience is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. Imagine sipping on a glass of locally produced wine while the tram meanders through rows of lush grapevines. The valley is not just a feast for the eyes but also for the taste buds, with many estates offering delightful food pairings to complement their wines. Whether you're a seasoned sommelier or just someone who appreciates a good glass of vino, the Franschhoek Wine Tram tour promises a day of relaxation, discovery, and indulgence.
Interestingly, Franschhoek itself is steeped in history, known as the "French Corner" due to the French Huguenots who settled here centuries ago. Their influence is still felt today in the area's architecture and culture, adding an extra layer of charm to your visit.
