Not to be missed - Very, very well run. Everyone knows their job. We stopped at 5 wineries and one we had lunch at. The Camberley winery is not be missed. The owner will sit with you and tell you about the wine as you sample. Don’t miss this one.

Excellent way to discover South African wine farms! - This tram was an excellent way to discover wine farms. Plan your stops. We were able to get 5 stops in, but the last was only 36 mins, but we considered that a bonus as we expected to tour four. All other stops are an hour each, but you can stay 2 hours if you like. Book lunch in advance if you have a preference on where you want to eat. The views were beautiful! The staff are super friendly and helpful. Worth the day!

Highs and Lows of the Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour - The trip was somewhat disappointing as the tram only stops at 3 wine farms especially in terms of timing, but the bus trip worked better as we were able to visit more wine farms than on the tram. We also did not get the choice of transport as we only found out when getting to Franschhoek that our trip would be on the bus first. Nonetheless, the bus worked better and was enjoyable.
Then, we were disgusted to have received normal cooking oil and red wine vinegar when ordering the bread, olive oil and balsamic platter at the Bartinney Wine estate. It specifically stated olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the menu. When confronting the floor manager, she blamed the products on the supplier. No, sorry lady, your kitchen staff should know the difference between oils and vinegars as it does not take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. They did however, not charge us for the platter.
