Avid wine connoisseurs and mountain bikers are in for a treat: a six-week-long excursion across the Cape Winelands promises adventure and great wine all in one trip.The Chenin Safari combines great wine with mountain biking. Legal-age mountain bikers and any other members of the public are welcome to join in, create their own itineraries, and stop at any of the 30 participating Chenin Safari wine farms.
Christina Harvett, manager of the Chenin Blanc Association, says participants could also win prizes during the challenge, such as luxury boutique getaways for two, wine and gourmet hampers and women-only guided rides. ‘You could be in line for some great prizes or just have some terrific, fitness-boosting cycling fun over the course of six weeks. Either way, if you come with an appetite for adventure and great-tasting wine you simply can’t lose.
The participating wine farms range from the West Coast to Darling, including Swartland, Bottelary, Stellenbosch, Helderberg, Simondium, Paarl, Franschhoek, Worcester, Wellington, Rawsonville, Tulbagh and Villiersdorp, as well as the Breedekloof and Du Toitskloof mountains. ‘The intention is to have responsible fun,’ says Harvett. ‘We want participants to pace themselves, stick to the legal drinking limit and use the entire six-week period to fulfil their challenge commitments.
The annual #DrinkChenin event at Backsberg Family Wines will feature the top 20 chenin producers. In addition, the event will also have live music, food and activities for the kids.6 May to 10 JuneStellenbosch | Swartland | Wellington | Tulbach | West Coast | Franschhoek | Paarl | Breedekloof | Worcester
