Why this tour
Vineyard bike tours are the active, eco-friendly way to do the Winelands. Cycle quiet farm roads between Stellenbosch and Devon Valley estates, stop for tastings along the way, and earn the next glass. With e-bikes available, the hills never spoil the day — you pedal as much or as little as you like.
These are small-group days with a guide who knows the back roads and a support vehicle for when your legs (or your shopping) need a lift. The riding is gentle, the scenery is gorgeous, and the tasting stops are well-earned.
The right pick for active travellers, couples, and anyone who'd rather work up a thirst than sit in a bus.
Earn the glass. The best tasting rooms in the Cape have a bicycle parked outside them.

A tip from your guide
Take the e-bike even if you're fit. The Devon Valley climbs are short and sharp, and a battery means you arrive at the tasting fresh.
