Hike the Vines presented by First Ascent invites you to join us for 2025 Summer's Full Moon Hikes at Klapmutskop. This is the second half of the Summer Full Moon Hikes 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 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 2025 Full Moon Hike the Vines Series of 4 monthly hikes and receive a Hike the Vines Full Moon T-shirt.
