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!
Our first stop will be in the heart of Stellenbosch where we will explore on two feet, beginning at Dorp Street, one of the longest rows of old buildings surviving in any major town in southern Africa, it oozes with an old-world charm. We will take a stroll down the street and admire the beautiful Cape Dutch architecture, restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops before continuing through the heart of the Town.
Experience the thrill of gravity scootering against the breathtaking backdrop of the majestic Drakenstein Mountains in Stellenbosch. This thrilling outdoor adventure takes you on an exhilarating downhill journey, navigating winding paths and stunning terrain while enjoying the panoramic views of the iconic mountains.
Experience the unexpected – to get our morning off to an exciting start, we will hop onto free wheeling bikes for a Scootouring adventure in the Banhoek Valley against the breathtaking backdrop of the majestic Drakenstein Mountains in Stellenbosch. 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. This activity is a sure hit amongst children and adults of all ages! a Great laugh for the whole family.
