Passengers will experience a unique and leisurely introduction to the Franschhoek Valley as they journey through rolling vineyards in either an open-sided single-decker tram or a double-decker tram as well as an open-air tram-bus stopping at some of South Africa's oldest and most distinguished wine estates. A combination of tram and tram-bus transport follows a loop of stops allowing guests to hop off at each stop and experience the activities on offer, such as wine tastings, cellar tours, lunch or simply a stroll through the vineyards. Guests are advised to pre-book their tickets. The tour takes guests into the heart of the Franschhoek Valley.
