“Had a fantastic tour with Marshall and have been recommending it to folks we met on our trip! Just enough info and history to get your bearings without taking away from the enjoyment of cycling and exploring. It’s a great way to explore Stellenbosch and visit two stunning wineries, and how cool to rock up and leave on a bike! We also never felt rushed which was very appreciated. Even if you’re fit I’d still recommend the electric bikes, 4 hours is long with hilly terrain so to be able to choose your level of difficulty makes it so you can really relax and enjoy it!”

14.Full Day Afrivista Wine Tours from Stellenbosch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 238 reviews · from $79

Review of Afrivista’s Stellenbosch wine tour, with four estates, tastings, cellar visits, lunch, cheese pairing, pickup, and practical tips.

“Jakob was a great host/driver for this trip. After being picked up (on time) we were a small group. Jakob gave us some history of Stellenbosch whilst we got onto our first winery of 5 in the day. Each winery had a different character and it was interesting tasting (at least 4 tastings at each venue) what they had produced with a narrative from each one. Personally the best was saved for last (I will let that remain a surprise!). The inclusive lunch was also very nice and let me sample a traditional South African dish of Bobotie. This is a BIG recommend for this excursion.”
