Taste + Tram the Winelands Tour: Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Paarl
Overview
Be swept away by the tastes and sights of the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek wine region. Sample local wines and also paired with artisanal cheeses or seasonal produce.
Indulge with Fairview's Farmer Tasting as you sample a selection of fine wines paired to perfection with a spread of cheeses.
Continue on to the quaint town of Franschhoek to uncover the beauty of this region aboard a vintage style railway tram while sipping on a glass of world-renowned vino from the surrounding vineyards.
