Wine Tasting day
🍷 A Long Drive, But Absolutely Worth It! ❤️ It was a longer drive, but absolutely worth it! The beautiful views all the way from the CBD to the farms were simply breathtaking. 🌿🏔️ We truly enjoyed experiencing the Cape Town wine lands. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are on another level — beautiful farms, amazing scenery, great hospitality, and such warm-hearted people. ❤️🍷 A huge thank you to everyone who made the day so special — our driver, tour guide, and the wonderful waiters. You were all amazing and made our experience unforgettable. Absolutely loved every moment. We will definitely be back soon! ❤️🥂🇿🇦
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for sharing the experience, we appreciate the positive feedback.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $118 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Enjoy the Franschhoek Tram Wine Tour with Included Tram Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
