FAMILY-FRIENDLY HORSE RIDING EXPERIENCES IN THE CAPE WINELANDS

Horse Riding for the Whole Family

At Wine Valley Adventures, we welcome riders of all experience levels, and our trails are designed to be fun and engaging for the whole family. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, our well-trained horses and knowledgeable guides ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

For families with children, the minimum age for horse riding is 8 years old. Our patient instructors are experienced with young riders and will provide all the guidance and support needed to help them feel confident in the saddle. Kids will love the chance to meet our friendly horses, who are not only well-cared-for but also chosen specifically to suit each rider’s experience level.

Explore the Beauty of the Cape Winelands

The Cape Winelands is known for its breathtaking scenery, and there’s no better way to explore it than on horseback. Our trails take you through the historic Vrede en Lust Wine Estate, nestled in the foothills of the Simonsberg mountains. As you ride, you’ll pass through lush vineyards, rolling hills, and tranquil forests, all while soaking in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Springtime in the Cape Winelands is especially magical, with vibrant wildflowers in bloom, sunny blue skies, and a gentle breeze that hints at the summer ahead. The fresh air and natural beauty make this the perfect season for a family adventure, and our horse trails provide a unique way to experience it all.

A Family-friendly Adventure Awaits

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing ride or an adventurous trek, Wine Valley Adventures offers a variety of trail options that can be customized to suit your family’s needs. We offer rides of different lengths and intensities, ensuring there’s something for everyone—from a leisurely 1-hour ride to a more thrilling 4-hour trek through the mountains.

Our trails are more than just a ride—they are an opportunity for families to bond, enjoy the outdoors, and create lasting memories. Whether it’s your child’s first time on a horse or you’re celebrating a special occasion, we tailor our experiences to make them fun, educational, and unforgettable.
