If you’re looking for a fun new experience in the Cape Winelands, a segway adventure might just be it. Located just outside of Stellenbosch, Spier Wine Farm offers these family-friendly tours that not only allow you to soak up the beauty of the surrounding Helderberg Mountains, but also offer participants an opportunity to learn about farm life.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday (children 10 years and above are welcome), having a family get-together, team building event or even a romantic date, a segway adventure is a wonderful way to enjoy the Winelands.

Before you begin, you’ll be taken through a 20-minute training session that will make even the most unfamiliar segwayers feel right at home. Then it’s time to hop aboard your off-road segway, and glide through vines and farm plains, while learning about Spier’s biodynamic farming methods and wine-making techniques.

Participants are required to arrive 10 minutes before the tour, and should have sunscreen, water, weather-appropriate clothes and flat shoes. Strict Covid regulations are in place: visitors are required to wear masks and maintain a two-metre distance during tours, and equipment is sanitised between each tour.
