3.Franschhoek Wine Tram & Boschendal Wine Farm Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · from $106Top rated

Travel from central Cape Town to Franschhoek with a local guide, then use the hop-on hop-off wine tram to visit historic estates, tasting rooms, galleries, and restaurants. Two tastings are included, with Boschendal as a featured stop. Guide Super has been praised for tailoring the day to individual interests.

“Excellent way to combine the usual wine tasting with something different and fun. I'd recommend the purple route if you want to spend more time on the tram. We had an excellent guide and so were able to personalize our trip to focus on things that interested us such as the galleries and buildings.”
