** Our MAXIMUM weight limit is strictly 90 KILOGRAMS and our minimum age is 8 years old - NO EXCEPTIONS. WEIGHING IS REQUIRED ON ARRIVAL. Please make sure before you book as you will not be able to ride on the day if you exceed these limits.** Join us for an unforgettable horse riding safari among South African wildlife. We are great for groups, teambuilding events, and we are a family friendly adventure. We welcome guests from all walks of life and look forward to sharing our unique trail ride with you. We start out by getting you comfortably onto a horse that is most suitable for you, based on weight and previous experience. If you've never ridden before, we show you the basics you'll need for the ride. We set out on a short walk through the farm to the wildlife sanctuary, where we'll spend the next hour and a bit riding through the reserve to view giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, eland, bontebok, springbuck, & other animals, as well as a variety of birdlife, before the return ride back to the farm. Our horses are a South African breed called a boerperd, known for being gentle, calm and brave. The majority of our horses are ridden bitless. In respect to the wildlife in their environment, we are only allowed to go at a walking pace inside the game reserve.

I will take you and your small private group of guests on a horse ride through some of South Africa's most well-known wine estates. Along the way, we will take in spectacular views of Table Mountain and the mountains of Stellenbosch and we'll see many different bird species and possibly, some antelope. For our two-hour ride, we'll start off with a short lesson for novices to ensure everyone is comfortable with their horse and their equipment. When everyone is happy, we'll set off. We are very privileged to ride among the vineyards, orchards and arguably the best views in the winelands. We'll then head back toward Vredenheim, surrounded by mountains, vineyards, and tranquility. All levels of riders are catered for, so you will get exactly the ride you want, be it a gentle meander through the vineyards or a fast-paced canter down a sandy track. Our horses are very well trained, and very well looked after. We'll never ride the same trail twice, so no one will get bored of the route. Other things to note Please make every effort to arrive on time. If you are running a little late, please contact me so I can try to accommodate you. I will try to delay our departure, but can not guarantee this.

My one hour vineyard ride is the perfect ride for complete novices and people who’ve never been on a horse. If you’ve always wanted to ride a horse, but never had the chance, this ride is for you. I will give everyone a quick tutorial to show the basics, before we take a gentle stroll through our own farm, and across to our neighbour’s vineyard. Very nervous riders can have a guide on the ground or a lead attached to my horse. The horses are very well trained, and easy to ride. Along the ride we are likely to see many different bird species, wild flowers, the occasional bokkie, and of course the glorious views. While we keep beginners safe by sticking to a walk, more experienced riders will have a chance to trot or canter, provided they know how and don't bounce on the horses’ backs. Please note a strict weight limit of 95 kg will be enforced. Late arrivals- although we will try our best to accomodate late arrivals, I may have to cut your ride short due to other bookings or commitments. On the farm we also have a Big Cat sanctuary where guests can see lions, cheetah, tigers and white lions. Wine tasting, gin tasting (weekends only) a restaurant, game drives and magnificent gardens are all available to our guests.

For experienced rider we do some lovely trots and canters and as we can go further we manage to reach some higher ground to enjoy the view over the Village and surrounding fields. The ride is 1 hour long and we end at the Duiwelsbos/ Koloniesbos picnic stop where we spend an hour down by the river to enjoy a cheese and snack platter and some selected chilled wines. You can also stretch your riding legs in the indigenous forest for a little hike while we unsaddle and send the horses home and unpack a picnic snack. Morning rides are also available.

Depending on your needs, and heat of the day, we hit the road (latest) by 08:30, aiming to take one break, and end the ride latest 13:00. To ensure we are on the 'same page' before we hit the road, once all texting, emailing, and bookings are done, we try meet 30 minutes before our start, to ensure that we can fully meet your expectations. Things we chat about: 1. If you need to take a break from riding, be ready to order motorised transport using your mobile phone, for a service such as Uber 2. How we deal with (un)expected issues, out of the road, such as delays due to crashes, puncture, and other matters 3. Destinations that cater for all dietary needs 4. Whether we should include wine in our diets :) or garagiste / craft beer Other things to note: Our riding pace and time in the saddle is determined by you, the guest. If we are a bigger group, we also pair up guests of equal ability, and provide each such group with a guide.

On arrival at the winery, you will receive a welcoming and start the wine tasting to get your creative juices flowing. As you sip away and get inspired by the view of vineyards and mountains you will do a creative expression exercise followed by a step by step session of creating your own artwork in red wine. I tend to adapt my sessions and subject matter according to the interest and creative ability of the guest. This experience is perfect for a social group activity or intimate dates for couples. At the end of the session, you may take your artworks home as souvenirs. Duration: 2h-2h30min I suggest using Uber or a taxi service to transport you to and from the Winery as wine goes quicker to our heads than we think.
