Think gentle trails, wine stops with a view, and zero stress about hills (thanks, Bosch motors!). Book your e-bike adventure today and experience a wine-soaked day unlike any other, guided by certified local pros who know these backroads like the backs of their helmets.

The Route – Easy Rides, Big Views

  • We’ve mapped out a scenic 18km loop that shows off the best of Stellenbosch without making you break a sweat. The route winds along gravel farm roads, shady oak lanes, and vineyards with those classic mountain views.

    “We keep the pace easy and the vibe social,” says Lee-Irwin, one of our seasoned guides. “With the Bosch motors helping out, even the hills feel like a breeze.”

    You’ll start and finish at Skilpadvlei Wine Estate, making it simple to grab a coffee before or celebrate with a glass or a meal after.

Why Choose an EBike Wine Tour in Stellenbosch?

  • EBikes make it easy to explore multiple wine estates in a single day without worrying about hills, traffic, or strict tour group timing. You’ll have the flexibility to take in views, stop for photos, and actually enjoy the wine tasting by bike.

    Estate Highlights:

Jordan Wines

  • Hilltop tastings, sweeping valley views, and world‑class wines - Jordan never disappoints. Their Chardonnay is a crowd‑pleaser, but the views alone are worth the ride. Visit website

Neethlingshof

Skilpadvlei Wine Estate

  • A laid‑back, local gem with farm‑fresh food & wines and a relaxed vibe. Perfect for a longer stop - and maybe a snack too. Visit website

De Waal Wines

  • Old‑school Stellenbosch with a lot of heart. De Waal Wine’s intimate tasting room gives you a peek into generations of winemaking, minus the frills. Visit website

    “Guests love how the EBike tour gives them time to properly enjoy each estate,” says tour guide Eon. “It’s not a rush, it’s more like your perfect wine‑soaked day out.”

Why EBikes? Hills? What Hills?

  • EBikes turn uphill climbs into casual glides. The Bosch motors kick in when you need them, so you can cover more ground with less leg burn.

    “We’ve had everyone from 18 to 80 on tour,” Lee-Irwin adds. “If you can ride a regular bike, you’ll love an EBike. It’s the difference between whew and wow.”

    The bikes are easy to handle, and we always do a quick intro and safety check before hitting the trail. No stress, just fun.

    Bonus: Try our Cape Peninsula Pedal Tour with an EBike upgrade if you’re looking for sea views, penguins, and dramatic coastal roads.

Are EBike Wine Tours Eco-Friendly?

  • Yes. Riding an EBike is one of the most eco-friendly wine tour options out there. You’ll leave almost no footprint (except maybe a few wine glasses), and get to experience the landscape up close and personal.

    “EBikes are changing the way people travel,” says Quintin from Cape Adventure Brands. “They let you explore more while doing less harm - and they’re just plain fun.”

    We’re all about low‑impact adventures and supporting estates with sustainable practices. Drink well. Travel light. Win‑win.
