Franschhoek Outrides
The Franschhoek Valley is a little town nestled between towering mountains in the beautiful Cape Winelands, famous for its superb wines and world class international cuisine. Less than an hour and a half from Cape Town, this lovely little village boasts a 300 year French heritage, and is definitely a must see.
Spectacular vineyards cover these mountain slopes settled more than 300 years ago by the Huguenots, who brought with them their age-old French wine and food culture. This is a valley rich in history centered around a picturesque village of friendly, welcoming people.
Ride through the beautiful Franschhoek valley on our 1 hour scenic outride or opt for wine and ride trail visiting 2 established wine farms to sample some of the excellent wine on offer.
