Take a tour of the cellar, join a wine tasting or stroll through the rows of vines before grabbing a bite to eat. For a novel way of seeing Franschhoek's finest wine estates, the tram is your answer. And you'll pick up history of the Winelands along the way.

Follow the scent of sun-baked grapes to the Winelands, where you'll enjoy a day of award-winning wines, glorious vistas and epicurean delights.
