Think green hills and scenic vineyards, old Cape manor houses and the oldest town in South Africa. The hills are mostly gentle while the roads are picturesque and safe – ideal for cycling.

We depart the city for the Franschhoek wine region, where we begin our cycle along the quiet Robertsvlei Road – 7kms into the town of Franschhoek.  We explore this charming French Huguenot village, then cycle a further 3km to Augusta winery, where we stop for a wine tasting and cellar tour.

We then continue a further 2kms to Mont Rochelle winery for another tasting and a well-deserved picnic lunch amidst spectacular surroundings.  After lunch we drive to the picturesque university town of Stellenbosch, with its distinctive Cape Dutch architecture, ending with a final tasting at Spier Winery, before heading back to Cape Town. There is no better way to appreciate this beautiful part of the world! Of course, the van is available to carry your purchases (and you if you want to swap 2 wheels for 4). Exact wineries may change according to availability.
