Really good idea if your only in Franschhoek for a short time and want to sample a few wineries. Yes you could uber or taxi from one to the other but I really enjoyed the tram snaking it's way away...

This is an absolute blast where you get taken around to try beautiful wine and eat great food. Our guide was really helpful and kept the wine flowing.

Despite having lived in Cape Town for years, last weekend was my first adventure on the wine tram. What an absolutely wonderful setup and service! From purchasing tickets online to the smooth boarding experience, every step was brilliant. We went on the grey line, staring with the bus. Our guide, Simon, was excellent: knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and just great vibes. I recommend starting early. We boarded at 11:30, and we still had to pick and choose which vineyards to take our time at. So more time means more leisure, and more value! I'll definitely be back to try another line.

My favourite. A must do when in Cape Town. I'd advise you not to drive there unless you have a designated driver especially if you'll be tasting wine in the wine farms. Stunning views. I have done a few lines of the Wine tram, It's better to be early in order to try out most wine farms on the line you'll choose
