When you feel the city rush pressing down on your spirit there is no bet er escape than
Franschoek. If you live in Cape Town it's only a few minutes' drive, and if you are a Gauteng
prisoner, Franschoek is a short Friday flight away. It feels like a breath of fresh air to open the door
and see a dif erent way of life. Every time one visits, there is a new place and something dif erent
to experience, but this time Virére took the tram tour that starts in the city centre. The tour
comprises of various options, visiting some of the best smal er and commercial farms for wine
tasting. Each farm welcomes you with local warmth and wine tasting is for most part included. But
it is the comfort of not having to drive around that makes the tram tours so much more relaxing.
