The Stellenbosch Spice Route Gravel Grinder takes you on a circular loop of undulating roads from our spectacular neighbours at family-run Remhoogte Wine Estate in Stellenbosch to the scenic Spice Route. We’ll stop here to rest our legs and enjoy the majestic views of the Simonsberg and surrounding winelands valley over lunch, before making our way back to Stellenbosch.
