Things to do

Itineraries that pass through

2 days in Franschhoek

2 days, 6 stops, Franschhoek
Stay in Franschhoek village and arrange transport to the estates. Give each morning to a single venue, with lunch there and a relaxed return to the village.
A multi-generational family week

7 days, 15 stops
Spend the first five nights in Sea Point or at the Waterfront, then move to Franschhoek for the final two. Use a vehicle with pre-arranged child seats and any required mobility equipment. One main outing a day, optional afternoons and a genuinely quiet day keep the week manageable.
Couples: Winelands long weekend

3 days, 9 stops
Stay in Franschhoek for three nights and book a driver for estate visits. Keep tastings modest and leave room for lunch. The Wine Tram is an alternative once you have checked the exact line and timetable, not a promise that these estates share one route.
