Following the lunch break and your adventure in Franschhoek, the tour will proceed to the Franschhoek terminals for the second part of the wine tasting journey by tram. Your tour guide will distribute your tram tickets and provide instructions on how to navigate the tram's timetable. Typically, the tram takes around 8 minutes to travel between farms, allowing you to disembark at any farm of your choice from the provided list along the route. While you can visit up to two farms as part of the tram experience, if time allows, you may also opt for a third tasting.
On the way back from exploring the Franschhoek Wine Tram, we can make a quick stop at a significant landmark: a prison that once held Nelson Mandela.
