Winelands Guide · Franschhoek Valley
A local guide leads a small group on mountain e-bikes along farm roads to two smaller estates, Wildeberg and Stony Brook, with tastings and lunch. Pick it if you want quiet farms and a bit of exercise rather than the busy tram stops.
No tram, no coach. You park at Old Road Wine Co. on Huguenot Road, get an e-bike and a helmet, and ride roughly 15 to 20 km through the valley. The two stops are smaller estates: Wildeberg and Stony Brook, each with a tasting and a guided look around. The listing allows about two hours at each.
The Includes list covers the guide, the e-bike and helmet, the tastings, lunch, water and snacks. It also lists gratuities and wine you buy on the day, which reads like a slip, so plan to pay for any bottles you take home. The tour is shared, and the listing also shows a private group label, so check which you're booking.
The rules are firm: 18 and over, and at least 140 cm tall. Give your height when you book so the right frame is ready. The motor helps on the climbs, so you don't need to be a regular cyclist. The guide also covers the valley's Huguenot history.
Meet at the parking area on Huguenot Road. Bikes and helmets are fitted here.
A tasting and a guided look at the estate.
A second tasting with valley views.
Ride back to your car. The route is roughly 15 to 20 km in total.
