Your tour-day link by email

Some days in the Winelands are about the chair you sit in. These are about the one you climb into. E-bikes between Stellenbosch estates, a guided ride at Boschendal, a vineyard walk that begins at Kirstenbosch, or an open safari vehicle up the slopes at Waterford — the activity takes the best part of the day, and the tastings fit around it.
Every private option includes your guide, transport and hotel pickup from Cape Town. The wine walks run as guided group tours with set departures, so the pace is fixed and the company is good.

What makes it
The details worth knowing
E-bike between estates
E-bikes take the effort out of the hills, so you cover more estates without arriving out of breath.
One hour in the saddle
The horseback tour includes a one-hour guided ride at Boschendal, timed to a session that suits your riding level.
Walks close to the city
The Constantia and Kirstenbosch walks stay near Cape Town, which makes them easy to fit into a short trip.
Safari vehicle at Waterford
An open safari vehicle up through the vineyards and mountain slopes, as part of a private Stellenbosch day.
The day
How the day runs
Morning
Collect and kit up
Your guide collects you from your Cape Town accommodation and gets you fitted — bike and helmet, or a briefing before the ride.
Late morning
Into the vines
The activity takes the middle of the day: farm roads and vineyard tracks by e-bike, a guided hour in the saddle at Boschendal, or a walk between estates.
Midday
First tasting
A tasting at the estate you arrive at, with wine bought along the way carried for you.
Lunch
A table under the oaks
Lunch at an estate restaurant, at your own pace and on your own tab unless your tour includes it.
Afternoon
One more estate
A second tasting, or a third on full days, before the drive home.
Late afternoon
Back in Cape Town
Dropped at your door with the evening free.

Who it suits
Who this day is for
Active travellers
A day in a car feels wasted when there are farm roads and vineyard tracks to ride.
Mixed-energy groups
E-bikes flatten the hills and the walks are paced for the group, so nobody gets left behind.
Travellers who want the view
The best vineyards look different from a saddle, a trail or an open safari vehicle.
FAQ
Before you book
Do we all need the same fitness level?
No. E-bikes flatten the hills, the walks are paced for the group, and the horseback ride is a guided one-hour session suited to your riding level. Tell us who is coming and we will suggest the tour that suits everyone.
What if the weather changes?
Dress in layers and bring something warm for the trail. If conditions make an outdoor activity unsafe or unpleasant, we will talk you through the options with your guide and the estate before the day.
Is the activity the whole day?
No — the activity takes the best part of it, with tastings fitted around it. If your group has mixed energy levels, choose one activity and an unhurried lunch rather than trying to fit in two.
Insider tip
Pack comfortable shoes and a layer for the trail, and something fresh to change into before the tasting room.
