What to Expect on tour: Stellenbosch
If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous and rugged, Stellenbosch delivers. Our routes take you off the beaten track, along gravel roads and farm paths that cut through vineyards and natural landscapes. Expect climbs, rolling hills, gravel, and rewarding descents - the kind of terrain that calls for a spirit of adventure.
This is Stellenbosch at its most authentic: raw beauty, untamed trails, and world-class wines waiting for you to sample and enjoy.
Opt for Stellenbosch for a cycling journey that’s more adventurous, challenging in a good way, and deeply connected to the raw landscapes of the Cape Winelands.

- Ideal for those wanting a more engaging, experience-led day
