The Franschhoek Vineyard Hopper is ideal for guests that would like to be in control of their own time and schedule or those who are short on budget.
Guests staying in Franschhoek can choose between a 4 hour and a 7 hour Hopper Service.
Within this time guests are free to visit as many wine estates, restaurants or places of interest (from the Franschhoek Vineyard Hopper list below) as they want to and are able to fit into the 4 or 7 hour period.
Unlike other services in the Franschhoek Village, where guests are on a schedule and often part of large crowds, the Franschhoek Vineyard Hopper is totally flexible both in terms of where guests go and how long they visit each establishment.
This is ideal for guests or small groups of people who would like to do their own thing (perhaps do a special tasting or picnic for lunch).
So how does the Franschhoek Vineyard Hopper work?
Guests can choose where they want to go from the list below.
Once we have collected the guests we will take them to the first estate, restaurant or place of interest – if they don’t know where they want to go we will gladly make suggestions and offer advice.
We will drop the guests off and introduce them to a staff member at the wine estate who will then take care of them.
Once the guests are ready to move on to their next wine estate of choice they can just call us (or get a staff member to call us) and we will be there in a flash to collect them.
This is a fun and safe way (no drinking and driving) for guests to get around AND they have lots more options available to them vs other any other transport option in the village.
