Discover South Africa’s Franschhoek Valley and its vineyards on this e-bike tour.

Franschhoek is known for its incredible wineries, but it can be tricky to tick off multiple wineries in a day without your own transport. Instead of traveling by car, get out in the fresh air and enjoy a leisurely cycling tour. The trip showcases multiple wineries, and even includes wine tastings. As it’s a private tour, adjust the cycling route to suit your group’s needs and abilities.

Drive Franschhoek yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole valley in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point, Franschhoek village, Groot Drakenstein, Simondium or Paarl, choose the estates you want from the 34 mapped between the pass and the Simonsberg, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. Narrated stories cover the people behind the gates: the Huguenot refugees of 1688 whose farm names are still on the signs, Paulina Pepler at Rickety Bridge, the Rupert family's three estates, Charles Back's arrival from Lithuania in 1902, and the cellars that make Cap Classique and nothing else. No group, no schedule, no guide; pause for a long lunch in the village, ride a Wine Tram line, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops on the pass, because everything downloads offline. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are paid directly at each estate.

This perfect family-friendly adventure offers an exhilarating way to tour Franschhoek’s world-famous vineyards by big-wheel scooter (aka ‘monster scooters’). If you can ride a bike, you can ride a monster scooter. And if you’ve got small kids, that’s OK too, because there’s room enough for them to safely stand in front of you and ride tandem. Depart from the Huguenot Monument then visit two wineries to take in the scenery while cruising down gently rolling hills.
