Franschhoek is no secret wine valley. Boasting a variety of MCC and tasting rooms with views that will make you think you are in Champagne only to be reminded that SA is just that unbelievable. So why don't you spoil a loved one and book a room at a local BNB or lodge for a romantic weekend, declaring your gaga-ness over sips of bubbles? If staying in Franschhoek is not enough, book a ticket aboard the wine tram and safely visit a decent amount of farms in a day.
Cost: The cost of doing this route is currently R220pp excluding the cost of wine tasting. The cost of wine tasting is usually discounted for tram ticket holders so expect to pay an additional R160-R400 for tastings, depending on the tasting option you prefer.

Our wine tram experience
We started our tasting experience around 12pm and followed the red line. We only managed to stop at 4 of the 8 farms due to time.
Stop 1: Rickety Bridge
Stop 2: Grande Provence
Stop 3: Haute Cabriere (No longer on tour)
Stop 4: Dieu Donne
Stop 5: Chamonix
