Ride The Cape – Tulbagh

Ride The Cape – Tulbagh is a luxury all-inclusive riding and culinary escape set in the breathtaking Tulbagh Valley, with exclusive accommodation at the charming De Stilte farm. Limited to just 80 riders, this boutique event promises a uniquely intimate experience. Three unforgettable days of exploring some of South Africa’s most scenic and lesser-known trails — winding through rolling hills, olive groves, Cape Fynbos, and rugged mountain paths. After each ride, indulge in Tulbagh’s renowned wines, hearty meals, and the kind of hospitality that turns strangers into friends. This isn’t just a ride — it’s a weekend of hidden gems, warm fires, rich flavours, and epic trails you won’t find on the usual maps. Ride The Cape Tulbagh… where adventure meets indulgence.

DAY 1:

DISTANCE: 19KM | ELEVATION: 520M
Arrive at De Stilte luxury tented accommodation in the Tulbagh Valley. Enjoy a light lunch and refreshments before setting off. Ride 19 km through the Witzenberg hills on a course that blends gentle valley riding with a big, honest middle section and a fast, flowing descent to the finish. A wine stop awaits at the 11 km mark, offering a perfect pause before the final push. With over 440 m of climbing, it’s challenging but so rewarding with the wide-open vistas of the valley. Come for the challenge, stay for the feeling of flying home off the ridge back into the valley.

DAY 2:

DISTANCE: 56KM | ELEVATION: 980m
Ride 56 km through the heart of the Witzenberg, with around 900 m of climbing, sweeping Western Cape views, and a course that blends punchy early climbs with long, flowing, rideable terrain. The route’s rolling profile and net descent invite you to test your pacing, then open up in the final kilometres for a fast, satisfying finish. It’s a big enough challenge to respect, but crafted so that riders can truly enjoy every section.
