Stellenbosch Bicycle Tours

The Stellenbosch Winelands have a long and proud history of wine production, and have become one of the most important wine regions in South Africa. The region is home to some of the best wines in the country, and the combination of cycling and wine tasting makes it a popular destination for both locals and visitors alike.

The Stellenbosch Winelands are located in the Western Cape in South Africa, and have a long and rich history of wine production, dating back to the 17th century. The area is home to some of the country’s oldest and most well-known wineries, and is known for its beautiful rolling vineyards, mountain views and Mediterranean climate. The region is one of the earliest places in South Africa to produce wine, with early wine production undertaken by Dutch settlers. The area was quickly established as a place for winemaking, with several small wineries being established in the late 18th century.

These wineries produced a variety of wines, including white, red and fortified wines, and the wines quickly gained a reputation for their quality. The area continued to expand and develop throughout the 19th century, and in the early 20th century the region had become firmly established as one of South Africa’s premier wine-producing regions.

In 1921, Stellenbosch was declared a wine-growing district, and this designation has never been revoked. Since then, the Stellenbosch Winelands have become known for their high-quality wines, and the region is now home to more than 140 wineries, each producing a variety of styles.

Many of the wineries offer tours and tastings, and some of the larger ones also offer cycling tours, allowing visitors to explore the vineyards on two wheels. The Stellenbosch Winelands has a well-developed network of cycling trails, ranging from easy and beginner-friendly to more challenging routes, and provide a great way to explore the area and take in the stunning views.
