Brilliant day out! Picked up by one of the City Sightseeing buses from the Two Oceans Aquarium, on time (0830). Arrived just after an hour, where the bus played a very informative audio of the areas we passed. The Wine tram people hopped on the bus when we arrived and gave our a slightly better timetable and info on the vineyards. We were told we were on the Burgandy line when we arrived. If you had made reservations for vineyards on other lines, I’m not sure what you would have done. We picked Plaisir as our first stop, followed by Boschendal, followed by Bartinney. Plaisir was lovely, great setting, snacks, coffees, food available with seemingly no need to book. Boschendal has a 10min bus ride to thr vineyard so the guide’s recommended staying for 2 slots. Bookings were required for picnics etc. the picnic area was in a diff place to the wine tasting-very spread out! Bartinney was the best (IMO), the setting was gorgeous really high up, quite small and very peaceful. We wish we allocated two hours for this place, where we only had 1 for the last stop!! The facility to leave wines with the bus pick up was great, saved dragging around the wines you had purchased along the way!! Overall, a really great day! We didn’t plan the route we were going to take until the bus ride over, so don’t panic if you’ve not booked. Highly recommend for a wine lovers day out, in the most beautiful setting!!!!
