Whether you want to taste wine with friends, have a farm-to-table family feast, or hike the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, you’ll find it all in this idyllic region. The Winelands Regional Pass allows access to over 700 km of mountain bike and running trails in the area, of which Dirtopia and the Bottelary Hills Conservancy trails are within easy reach of the village. This network truly makes Stellenbosch a mountain bike mecca, where top international athletes come to train.
