Time on foot between wine-estate visits Stellenbosch

Tastings, pairings and the Wine Tram

The programme lists a cheese-paired tasting at Zevenwacht, a biltong pairing at Marianne and a final tasting at Rickety Bridge. The number of wines served is not contractually confirmed.

The Wine Tram and Rickety Bridge are shown together as a one-hour segment. Some reviews find the tram element short, so it should not be treated as the main focus of the tour.
