About this experience

Franschhoek Wine Tram Explorer Tour from Cape Town This full-day guided tour takes you from Cape Town to the prestigious Franschhoek Wine Valley, where you explore award-winning vineyards aboard the famous hop-on hop-off wine tram. Travelling through one of South Africa's most celebrated wine regions, you visit boutique estates set against dramatic mountain backdrops and traditional Cape Dutch architecture.
