Even reminding us when the last tram will leave so we dont miss the bus back to Cape Town :)

I like the idea that you pay as you taste, because everyone may not want to taste that many wines. I also loved that I could go at my own speed, but to take in the charm and uniqueness of each vineyard, you're going to require multiple trips.

What a fun day! There is more vineyards and wine tasting opportunities than time will allow so read ahead and select your top choices. We started with wine tasting at 2 different vineyards, had lunch at a 3rd and returned to one for their gin tasting- which was also excellent. We also enjoyed the company of several other couples we me through the day. It was a beautiful day and a well organized tour of the beautiful wine country. You will pay for your wine sampling’s at each stop but it is still very affordable and a fun day.Using City sightseeing service for the wine tour has both positive and negative aspects.

Using City sightseeing service for the wine tour has both positive and negative aspects. The bus collects you from the waterfront (or other locations) at 9 am which allows everyone to drink and enjoy the day in franchoek. there is also really interesting information on the bus on the way up to Franchoek. The disadvantage is that you don't have to full day in Franchoek as you would if you drove yourself. We managed 3 wine farms, but doing 4 is possible. I have done the wine tram independently in the past and we did 6 wine farms in one day, but stayed the night in franschoek. All in all I would say it was worth it that no one had to drive and we still had a fantastic time at the three wine farms
