The organisers of the Origin Of Trails MTB Experience are excited to welcome Blaauwklippen Wine Estate as the host venue of the 2019 event that will take place on Saturday 30 November and Sunday 01 December 2019.
“We are excited to celebrate the Origin Of Trails MTB Experience’s 7th anniversary at Blaauwklippen Wine Estate,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director Stillwater Sports.
“A popular tourist destination, Blaauwklippen also boasts some iconic trails. We are proud to include these trails as part of our 2019 route. After each stage mountain bikers together with their family and friends can relax in the festival village that will be buzzing with activity. Indulge in mouthwatering food, awarding winning wine and live entertainment. The Origin Of Trails MTB Experience is the perfect way to close off a busy year.”
“Blaauwklippen Wine Estate is one of the oldest wine farms in South Africa,” says Johan van Dyk, Marketing Manager Blaauwklippen Wine Estate. “
A key destination for local and international travelers, our vineyards are a local favorite for the active Stellenbosch MTB community. As the host venue of the Origin Of Trails MTB Experience we are given the opportunity to share, not only our destination, but also the unique beauty of our farm with the MTB community of South Africa.
While mountain bikers take to the vineyards and scale the Stellenbosch mountain, their family and friends can enjoy Blaauwklippen’s facilities which include the Hamm & Uys Eatery (South African Favorites with a twist), Wine Tasting and Sales; Wine Pairings and Gin Tasting to mention just a few. For the kids, Blaauwklippen is a fantastic and welcoming place. With wide open spaces, friendly goats and a fun-filled jungle gym, we provide the perfect entertainment for our younger visitors to run wild and free.
