01Find lunch on your line
Your restaurant needs to fit the route you have booked. Start with these options, then choose a time you can reach comfortably by tram or tram bus.
| Estate | Wine Tram line | Lunch choices |
|---|---|---|
| Babylonstoren | Orange | Babel restaurant or Greenhouse |
| Boschendal | Orange or Green | Deli or Werf picnic |
| Grande Provence | Blue, Pink or Red | The Oak or the Bistro |
| Rickety Bridge | Blue, Pink or Red | Estate restaurant |
02Babel or Greenhouse at Babylonstoren?
Babel is the choice for a planned restaurant meal. Lunch is served Wednesday to Sunday and reservations are essential. Book the table after confirming that your Wine Tram departure can get you there in time.
The Greenhouse serves lighter food at the back of the garden. It opens daily and takes walk-ins, with tables allocated as they become available. Leave room for a wait during busy periods.
03Lunch at Boschendal, Grande Provence or Rickety Bridge
At Boschendal, choose between the Deli and a Werf picnic. The Werf Restaurant has closed, so use the estate’s current dining choices when making your plans.
Grande Provence has The Oak and the Bistro, while Rickety Bridge takes bookings for its estate restaurant. Reserve directly with the restaurant and mention that you are arriving on the Wine Tram.
04Give lunch enough time
Choose your meal time alongside the tram timetable. You need time to reach the restaurant from the drop-off point, eat and return for a later pickup. A tasting before lunch makes the stop longer still.
If you are on the Cape Town coach tour, work back from the return departure before booking an afternoon table. The one-day itinerary shows how to make lunch part of a relaxed two-estate visit.
05Frequently asked questions
Is lunch included in the Wine Tram ticket?
No. You pay the restaurant or estate directly.
Can I eat without a reservation?
The Greenhouse at Babylonstoren takes walk-ins. You may need to wait for a table, so keep your next Wine Tram departure in mind.
Can I bring food onto the tram?
Outside food is not allowed aboard the vehicles. You can buy food at the estates and light refreshments at the terminals.
