★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 248 reviews · 4h 30m · from $92Our pick

Ride from Stellenbosch into Jonkershoek Valley with an English-speaking guide such as Marshall, Sevi, Tayne, or Lance. Visit two wine estates for tastings, a private cellar tour, and wine with chocolate. Choose a standard bike or book an e-bike for R250 more if hills and four hours in the saddle sound demanding.

“Marshall was a GREAT host. He is very knowledgeable about the history and wine and overall friendly. He knew the staff of each winery so was able to work out seating and comfortable showing the sellers. He is very attentive to the needs of everyone and also accommodating. Need to be in decent shape to handle riding up hills and narrow bridge rails. would definitely recommend.”

Crossing a few hidden and beautiful wineries using the backdoors. The guide provided interesting information about the wine industry. The long ride to Franschhoek leads through a remote and picturesque landscape. All in all, a nice experience and absolutely recommended.”
