What you can expect

Unlock the enthralling 300-year-old history of the Franschhoek Valley—a region settled by French Huguenot settlers in the late 1600s. Taste some of South Africa's exquisite wines during an open-air tram tour and soak up the local history with admission to the Huguenot Memorial Museum (museum visit for 2018 season only).

Leave Cape Town early in the day to make the most of your adventures in the Franschhoek Valley. In the village of Franschhoek, climb aboard an open-air tram. Enjoy the way the sunlight warms your skin and the cool breeze gently teases your hair while the tram traces a picturesque route to some of South Africa's oldest and most distinguished wine estates.

Your first stop lands you at a boutique winery where you can delight in an intimate and information-rich experience. Following a cellar tour, revel in a sample of the vineyard's fine wines, savoring a tantalizing infusion of flavors produced by South Africa's optimal growing conditions. Treat yourself to lunch at the estate's cafe before moving on.

Indulge in a winetasting at 2 wineries, and learn about the history of winemaking in the Franschhoek Valley—including its French origins—and enjoy a guided tour through Franschhoek village, ending at Babylonstoren (for 2019 season only), a Cape Dutch farm dating back to 1692, before returning to Cape Town.
