Hike the Vines presented by First Ascent invites you to join us for 2024 Summer's Full Moon Hikes at Klapmutskop. Enter for all 4 Full Moon Hikes in 2024 here.

Join Mias and Lans for the monthly ritual of taking a few moments to savour the beauty of nature and watch the sunset and rising of the full moon from the spectacular vista of Klapmutskop. Sip on a glass of award-winning Delheim Family wines and M'lana's picnic basket before braving the trail back to Delvera.

The well-marked 3,5km trail through the pristine vineyards and up the Klapmutskop single track takes us to the 300-year-old Yellowwood forest, over some moderately technical terrain to the lookout point at the Klapmutskop summit.

Make a commitment to yourself, register and pay here for the 2024 Full Moon Hike the Vines Series of 4 monthly hikes and receive a Hike the Vines Full Moon T-shirt. All series entries will also stand a chance to win a Winelands Paragliding experience at the last Full Moon Hike the Vines in December.

Full moon hikes are limited to the first 50 hikers, so please enter early to avoid disappointment.
