The tour starts with a historic tour of Stellenbosch, visiting some of the historic sites in town. We will cycle through Stellenbosch and head to the scenic Jonkershoek valley. A winding road through oak and poplar forests will take you to a wine estate nestled in the valley bottom, here you can take in the stunning views while doing wine tasting of award winning wines on an island in a lake.
On the way out of the valley, you will stop at another wine estate which sports beautiful grounds and historic Cape Dutch architecture. Here we will do a cellar tour before we start our Chocolate and Wine pairing that will make your taste buds tingle.
After the tasting we will head back into Stellenbosch Town via the Stellenbosch University before ending the tour again at our office

We loved the tour, great mix of information, history and wine tasting. Marchall was a super guide and good fun. We were able to keep up with the pace on the bikes but a couple of the group struggled, especially with the uphill parts and I think that it should be made clearer a reasonable degree of fitness is required to participate. But would highly recommend tour. Thanks - Janet
We hebben een fantastisch leuke en vooral lekkere fietstour gedaan met Marshall. Informatief, mooie omgeving, zelfs met gewone mountainbike prima te doen. Heerlijke wijnen geproefd. Marshall weet veel en heeft ontzettend veel humor. Super ook om zo dwars door de universiteit van Stellenbosch te fietsen. - Inez
Great overall experience - the bikes are in fantastic condition, including the while my wife used. The initial meeting up was a bit confusing because there were a number of groups going off at a similar time and some of our group were late, but it soon sorted itself out. The meeting point is close to the centre of the town. The wineries and wines were fantastic and our guide was first class. A great fun tour. - Paul
Extremely enjoyed - Josephine
We loved our bike tour of Stellenbosch and visit to local vineyards. The bikes were great (my husband and I used ebikes) and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating of mixed biking skills in our group. We visited several historic buildings before heading on trails and quiet roads to two vineyards, where we did some tastings - at one vineyard this was paired with chocolates- divine! Highly recommend this tour! - Rachel
