incredible wineries in South Africa - On this visit to the past in an old train and wonderful wineries, we can taste wines in up to 4 wineries in one day and choose where to have lunch. The stars are the pinotage and shiraz. The tour is very organized and a journey through time.

Beautiful wineries and great afternoon tour! - We had a wonderful day in Franschhoek at the wineries. For this tour, you definitely won't have time to go to all the stops, so decide on which ones in advance to make the most of it. Our last stop at Boschendal required more than one hour, so plan on that too!

A fun day, just not all train access - A very nice way to spend a day. The only thing to be aware of is that only a few vineyards are available via train . . . the rest you are taking the tram/bus. So the promotional description is a bit misleading, but it didn't take away from the fun of the day too much.
