Mountain Biking has become a favourite pastime around the world and Franschhoek lends itself to this activity very well.
A Mountain Bike Wine Tour is an fun, leisurely way to visit three of our spectacular farms and you can choose from visiting the large, well-known farms or the smaller, boutique wine farms on the other side of the village. You will get to taste their award-winning wines but don’t worry, you will still be able to ride your bike home! You could also choose to do a few food and wine pairings (there are many options available) or you could have a spot of lunch at your last farm, and enjoy the wonderful mountain vistas.
We start our tours at 10am and finish around 2pm. Later tours are available on request. Please note that the farms generally close at 5pm and some are closed on public holidays, especially Christmas Day and Good Friday.
We also offer a Village Tour which is a 20km ride around the village amongst the wine farms and orchards with wonderful views of the mountains and a visit to the Berg River Dam. A stop for coffee at our local roastery is on offer.
For the advanced, experienced mountain biker, we offer an adrenalin pumping trail ride on our very technical, single track trails with an experienced guide. Get ready to get dirty and work up a sweat with this high impact guided ride. Bring your own bike or hire one from our Adventure Centre.
