Hike the Vines presented by First Ascent invites you to join us for the second Full Moon Hike of the summer at Klapmutskop.

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.

Register and pay NOW for the OCTOBER'24 Full Moon Hike the Vines and stand a chance to win a Winelands Paragliding Tandem flight experience at the last Full Moon Hike the Vines in December!
