Franschhoek Wine Tram

"Wij hebben de pink-line gedaan (bus first) heel leuk. Volgende keer Oranje route doen met Babylonstoren"

"Franschhoek is beautiful town beyond Stellenbosch, 45 mins inland from Cape Town, where a lot of the premium wines are produced in South Africa. Because they're a vast amount of wineries they've built a tram designed to easily get you from a to b, where you hop on / off and explore different vineyards. You're presented with specific routes (red line e.g.) when booking the wine tram. However, it's hard to suggest which line / wineries are the best as it is subjective on which wines people enjoy. Instead: Firstly, pick a restaurant (Babylonstoren, Maison or Le Petit Colombe e.g.) for around 2/3pm and book the tramline which transports you to that location. Secondly, have breakfast before you're on the tram (10am start) and then find a vineyard serving wine you like; buy a case and stay there until lunchtime. It's far more relaxed and enjoyable instead of hoping onto lots of different vineyards, which might not be as good as the last one! In terms of logistics, I'd stay overnight instead of driving back after tasting wines all day, gives you a bit of variety and flexibility on your holiday. A final note; if you happen to be in Franschhoek on Saturday, there is a fantastic market so if you're schedule suits, enjoy the wine tram on Friday, stay overnight and have breakfast in the market before you head off to your next stop!"

"Sip your way through Franschhoek’s acclaimed estates with a double-decker Wine Tram that connects eight wineries in the valley through six different routes"

"Route des vins avec stops dans plusieurs vignobles de la région. Si possible s'arrêter au vignoble du Lude !"

"Montez à bord d'une des six lignes à arrêts multiples du Franschhoek Wine Tram et partez à la découverte des vignobles de la vallée de Franschhoek. Vous embarquez au niveau de la billetterie située au coeur de la ville et vous serez transportés par une combinaison de tramway et de bus autour d'une boucle d'arrêts vous permettant de descendre et de monter à votre guise. Il n'y a plus qu'à choisir en fonction des dégustations qui vous attirent : chacune des lignes vous offre une sélection de domaines viticoles à visiter et bien sûr de vins à déguster !"

"The Franschhoek Wine Tram is a hop-on-hop-off tour and is the best way to explore Franschhoek Valley’s vineyards. You can choose from eight different lines and spend as much time as you’d like at each stop. A tour will cost you R240 per person and does not include the wine tasting fees at each estate. You can budget around R 25 – R 75 for a tasting at each farm."
