A private link to your day — the route, the times, a car between estates — lands in your inbox within minutes.

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.

The day

How the day runs

  1. Morning

    Bike fitting and briefing

    Fitted to a mountain or e-bike, a quick safety brief, then straight onto the farm roads.

  2. Late morning

    Ride to the first estate

    Quiet lanes and vineyard tracks between Stellenbosch and the Devon Valley, support vehicle behind.

  3. Midday

    Taste what you rode for

    A tasting at the first cellar, with the bikes watched and your purchases loaded into the van.

  4. Afternoon

    Second ride, second tasting

    Another stretch of farm road, another estate, a gentler pace as the day warms up.

  5. Late afternoon

    Lunch and the ride home

    A vineyard lunch, then a last leg (or a lift in the van) back to the start.

FAQ

Before you book

Do I need to be fit?

No. Routes are gentle and e-bikes are available, so the riding is accessible to anyone comfortable on a bicycle. If you'd rather not ride at all, the support vehicle is always there.

Is the bike included?

Yes — a mountain bike or e-bike, helmet and water bottle are included. E-bikes are recommended for the Devon Valley hills and can be requested when you book.

What about my wine purchases?

The support vehicle carries everything you buy along the way, so you never ride with bottles in your backpack. Your wine is waiting at the end of the day.

Can children join?

Family bike tours are possible on request, with child-sized bikes and routes tailored to the group. Get in touch and we'll build the right day.

Insider tip

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.
