Unite the elegance of old-world viticulture with the precision of automotive engineering. This "Winelands Tour" takes you through the heart of Paarl and Franschhoek, offering a sophisticated blend of massive underground cellars, vintage transport, and some of the country’s most beautiful estate views.
Located on the breathtaking L’Ormarins Estate, the Franschhoek Motor Museum is more than just a car collection; it’s a chronological journey through over 100 years of motoring history. Set against the backdrop of the Groot Drakenstein Mountains, the museum houses over 220 vehicles, with approximately 80 exhibits on display at any given time across four pristine, climate-controlled halls.
The Franschhoek Wine Tram is a hop-on-hop-off service that combines vintage-style railway trams and open-air tram-buses. It is widely considered the most charming and stress-free way to explore the Franschhoek Valley, allowing you to sample world-class wines without the need for a designated driver.
Step inside one of the largest cellar complexes in the world. The highlight is the Cathedral Cellar, built in 1930, featuring a massive dome-shaped ceiling and stunning stained-glass windows. You’ll walk among the "Five Big Vats"—massive wooden casks that tell the history of the KWV co-operative. The tour concludes with a guided tasting of their world-renowned wines or award-winning brandies.
