Itinerary
Tours start typically at 10:00am or 2:00pm and last from 3 to 4 hours. Wine farms close at 5pm.
We meet at the Franschhoek Adventure Centre in the main road of the village and get fitted for our bikes.
After a short safety briefing and discussion of the farms to be visited, we head off to our first farm. You are reminded that we ride on the left side of the road until we reach the bicycle track or a gravel shoulder.
We ride along the back streets of the village and through a vineyard with our gorgeous moutains welcoming you. We visit 3 wine farms with a short ride between each farm. At each venue you will be offered a variety of wines to choose from and the sommelier will be on hand to provide interesting information on the wines chosen.
Your guide will give you as brief history of the area and how the wine industry was started and will give you some interesting information about South African wines, culture and social life. A very friendly, casual tour which you are sure to enjoy.
After our 3rd farm we have a quick 10 minutes ride back into town.
