Franschhoek Wine Tram
A set route through the valley
The Franschhoek Wine Tram is the Winelands’ most charming day out — a vintage-style tram along a historic rail line that threads the valley’s finest estates together. We run it as a set-route guided tour, so your itinerary, tastings and timing are all taken care of. No driving required.
Why this tour
The Franschhoek Wine Tram is the Winelands' most charming day out — a vintage-style tram and tram-bus that threads the Franschhoek Valley's finest estates together along a historic rail line. We run it as a set-route guided tour: a fixed itinerary of hand-picked estates, with your day, your tastings and your return all taken care of.
Each route calls at a cluster of the valley's cellars in a set order. You travel together with your group, stop at every estate on the loop, and let us handle the timing — a tasting here, a vineyard lunch there, and the tram carrying you between them. No driving, no scheduling, no surprises.
It's the easiest way to do Franschhoek: relaxed, curated, and built for groups, couples and families who want a full valley day without any of the logistics.
