On Friday, 2nd of June the Ceres Rail Company operated a special excursion train from Cape Town to Robertson providing a historical mode of transport to one of South Africa's most popular wine festivals.
With scheduled stops at many of the region's top wineries passenger could simply hop on and off without the need to negotiate the traffic, find parking or even worry about drinking and driving. All while enjoying the pleasant and unmatched experience that travelling by steam train can provide.
The train operated between Worcester and Ashton for duration of the festival. Returning to Cape Town on Sunday, 4th of June.
The Wacky Wine has been an annual wine festival held in Robertson and surrounds for the last 14 years. Event-goers can purchase a 'passport' at their first port of call which allows them access to any other participating winery during the festival.
