We have unearthed family-friendly wine estates where family is at the heart of things and little explorers are not only warmly welcomed but allowed to treat the farms as a playground.
The Cape Winelands is home to over 120 Vineyards, each with varying way in which we can explore and learn about how they produce their Grapes. Our day will focus on exploring child friendly estates in a fun and engaging way for the whole family.
Our morning begins as we leave Cape Town in our Adventure Utility Vehicle (AUV) and take the scenic route into the Winelands for our day of fun play, taste, and exploration which awaits!
Experience the unexpected – to get our morning off to an exciting start, we will hop onto free wheeling bikes for a Scootouring adventure down the gentle slopes of Chamonix Wine Farm and enjoy breath taking views over the Franschhoek Valley. During the tour you will experience the beauty of these alpine-like mountains surrounding Franschhoek in a fun and active way. Stunning views, majestic mountains, and endless downhill slopes are what Scootours is all about. Scooters are non-motorized making this Eco-friendly. The scooters are propelled by gravity and our vehicle takes you to the top of the runs. These Swiss-designed, non-motorized push bikes are used in the Alps during the summer season on the ski slopes when the snow is gone. All trips are guided by professional qualified guides. This activity is a sure hit amongst children and adults of all ages! a Great laugh for the whole family.

From pork chop to hog heaven, she loves the sweet things in life: Eat. Sleep. Eat. Repeat. She also loves to paint - and that’s no hogwash! Pigcasso’s primary purpose? To paint a better picture of farm animals. A beautiful farm for the children to interact with the animals and see what farm life is all about.
