Winelands by Horseback

Ride through the Cape Winelands atop your trusty stead, wine-tasting and scenery-gazing as you go.

What you'll do

In the morning, you’ll meet your four-legged companion and stride out on a guided ride around the vineyards and estates of the Franschhoek region. With the wind in your hair and the sweet smell of the flora in the air, there’s no better way to experience the beautiful countryside. You'll have a choice of horses and routes to suit your riding level, from fast-paced gallops along mountain passes to lingering walks through the orchards. You'll have worked up an appetite and after lunch in Franschhoek, you'll have the chance to sample the area's finest wines. Bottoms up! If you're visiting in the warmer months (October to March), book a sunset ride when the Winelands are bathed in gold.
