Flavours of the Vine – A New Way to Tram Through Franschhoek
There’s a new way to experience the Franschhoek Wine Tram, and trust us, it’s one for the books (or at least for your Instagram grid).
Introducing the Flavours of the Vine Experience, an all-inclusive, thoughtfully designed day, that’s as much about the journey as it is about the destination. Think of it as the best of Franschhoek, tied up in a single day of wine, food, and scenery that’ll have you planning your next visit before the first glass is finished.
So, what’s in store?
The Journey
You’ll start your day at our Franschhoek Terminal before hopping aboard the tram and open-air bus (yes, wind in your hair, vineyard views in every direction – it’s as dreamy as it sounds). From there, we whisk you off to three incredible wine estates, each with its own story, style, and glass to share.
The Flavours
This isn’t just wine tasting, it’s wine experiencing. From guided tastings to a curated food-and-wine pairing, each stop adds a new flavour to the day. And then there’s the leisurely two-course lunch at one of the estates, the perfect pause to savour the valley’s seasonal ingredients alongside its world-class wines.
The Vibe
The pace is unhurried, the views are endless, and the glasses are generously topped with Franschhoek charm. It’s not just about sipping wine – it’s about connecting with the valley, the vines, and maybe even a new friend or two along the way.
