Go Wine Tasting on an Eco-friendly Bike Tour

Bikes ‘n Wines is a novel and exciting approach to Winelands Tourism that appeals to the young-spirited seeking an off-the-beaten-track experience. Explore several superb estates of the Stellenbosch Winelands, situated 50 kilometres outside of Cape Town, through the use of ‘slow tourism’.

The full day tour begins by meeting our guides at a café on the famed Long Street in the city centre of Cape Town, followed by a brief historic walk down through the picturesque Company Gardens to central station at the bottom of town. Board the local trains in first class here and begin the journey to the Stellenbosch Winelands.

Arriving at Lynedoch Eco-Village, the group is given bikes and equipment and cycling, and fun, begin! You will cover a little over 17 kilometers and visit four superb wineries and taste approximately twenty different South African wines, covering a diverse range of grapes and blends.

Bikes ‘n Wines caters for all ages and fitness levels and we offer personalized, as well as large group and corporate tours .
