Before Elgin became a cherished destination off the beaten path for international travellers and locals alike, it was an outspan called Koffiekraal. The valley derived its name from Glen Elgin, a group of apple farms owned by the Molteno brothers. Nestled between the Kogelberg and Groenland Mountains, Elgin is renowned today for its cool-climate wines and apple and pear orchards. A medley of locals can be found in the valley, from wine farmers and artisan bakers to expert florists, cycling specialists, adventure enthusiasts, and conservationists. There’s no better way to explore the remarkable Cape Floral Kingdom than on one of our Elgin bicycle tours. Elgin’s rustic charm calls visitors from near and far, giving you the perfect reason to escape the city and embrace nature. The vast countryside is dotted with cottages, pear and apple orchards, and vineyards clinging to rolling hills. Bikes ‘n Wines offers two Elgin bicycle tours.
