The tour starts with a historic tour of Stellenbosch, visiting some of the historic sites in town. We will cycle through Stellenbosch and head to the scenic Jonkershoek valley. A winding road through oak and poplar forests will take you to a wine estate nestled in the valley bottom, here you can take in the stunning views while doing wine tasting of award winning wines on an island in a lake.
On the way out of the valley, you will stop at another wine estate which sports beautiful grounds and historic Cape Dutch architecture. Here we will do a cellar tour before we start our Chocolate and Wine pairing that will make your taste buds tingle.
After the tasting we will head back into Stellenbosch Town via the Stellenbosch University before ending the tour again at our office

We found this a wonderful intro to Stellenbosch and the wine country. Sevi is a gifted guide: knowledgeable, charming, and enthusiastic. The combination of cycling through the city and on the trails to the wineries and wine-tasting at two very different, yet both delightful wineries, was a real winner. Very glad we did this - we'll recommend to others. My only slight quibble: The bike seats were not very comfortable; my wife was actually a bit sore afterwards, even though it wasn't that long a ride. Overall we give it 5 stars; which you'll see on our Trip Advisor review. It was a highlight of our time in South Africa! - Harry
We had an amazing guide and an unforgettable day...to sad we don't remember the name of the most great guide we could wish for. Regards TiM - Federici

We had some enjoyable hours with our tourguide Daniel throughout Stellenbosch and some wineries. Daniel is very pleasant, well educated and helpfull. Even though we've been around Stellenbosch many times before, we were surprised to learn so many new information about Stellenbosch. And also the chocolate-wine pairing in Lanzarac was a wonderful new experience for us. In the end Daniel brought us back safe and sound to our starting point. We really had a great time. - Keuser
