You’ll ride from Cape Town in a clean, air-conditioned Xplorer coach, then use vintage trams and open-air tram buses to visit four or five Franschhoek wine estates. Choose tastings, cellar tours, lunches, picnics, or simply the views. Routes change by day, so plan around the estates that interest you most.

“The driver and guides were fabulous, gave us lots of advice and were very caring. We do think that clients staying in the city should have a pick-up point much closer than the V & A waterfront because it meant using a taxi to get to our only meeting point Superb”
