What you’ll do

This half-day experience combines a 3-hour horse ride with a wine-tasting session at an estate along the famous South African Franschhoek Wine Route, just outside of Cape Town. Starting at 9 AM on location at the Vrede en Lust Wine Estate, the tour is suitable for both novice riders and those with more experience. The ride takes place through a working farm and its vast array of vineyards, along the way stopping for 1 or 2 wine tastings. If you are with friends or family not taking part, they are welcome to spend time at the nearby Lust Bistro & Bakery which remains open during your visit.
