This trail run was organised by Fun Trails. A company that organises fun runs through wine farms.
The trails are safe, well-marked and of course fun with a choice in distances from 5km to 21km. And because it’s just for fun, you can even walk the whole route if you prefer.
It’s a great way to discover beautiful vineyards while getting your body moving in the fresh Stellenbosch air.

Obviously this list is a drop in the wine barrel of walking trails in and around Stellenbosch, but merely a handful of options that we can personally recommend. Seriously though, if you throw a cork in Stellenbosch you’ll hit a wine farm or walking trail.
To be quite honest we simply didn’t have enough time to visit all the wine farms and trails while we were in living in our Stellenbosch Silo – if you want to see what it’s like inside a silo, watch this video. And if you want to find out why we ran out of time and where we are now, you’ll have to subscribe and click the notifications button, because we’ll be sharing that story in the next video.
Just go out there and explore.
