Cellar2Cellar Trail Run and Wine Experience

Swap water stops for wine tastings along this super fun sip-and-swirl route

Join the colourful brigade of wine-loving adventure seekers who trek off the beaten track, in and amongst the vines in Stellenbosch, for the annual Cellar2Cellar Trail Run and Wine Experience on Saturday, 2 September 2017.

Starting and ending at Blaauwklippen Wine Estate, the fun run win(e)ds its way through seven other participating wine estates, namely Stellenrust, Stellenzicht, Mont Marie, Dornier and Waterford, and encourages participants to marry their stride with a bit of wine along the way.

Teetotallers won’t be left out. Those with more athletic ambitions can take on either a 12-km or a 20-km alcohol-free trail run through the same scenic vineyards, starting a little earlier than their wine-appreciating counterparts.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE 2017 CELLAR2CELLAR TRAIL RUN & WINE EXPERIENCE

WINE EXPERIENCE: Each winery will tempt runners traversing the 12-km route to taste their exceptional vintages and engage in full tastings, pairings (like chocolate, cheeses and nougat) and more. Participants can even purchase robust reds, crisp whites, perky pinks and bubbly MCCs en route, and then they can collect the bottles from the finish line (where they’ll be conveniently delivered). The first wine experience group is scheduled to set off at 8:30am, and from that point forward, batches of 20 to 30 runners will depart every 10 minutes – until 10am – to ensure that there isn’t a bottleneck at the cellar tastings.

TRAIL RUN: For those more serious about running, there are two trails (12-km and 20-km routes) sans wine tasting pit stops, but rather with water stations along the way instead. The 20-km race begins at 8am and the 12km run starts at 8:10am.

DRESS UP: Aside from the somewhat unusual raceway distractions, the Cellar2Cellar Trail Run also encourages participants to swap their running gear for something fantastical: the best (meaning wackiest) dressed male and female entrants stand a chance to ‘win their weight in wine’ and a cash prize, while overall race winners of the trail run walk away with wine from the participating wine farms. The theme for this year’s event is ‘superheroes and villains'!

MARKET DAY AT BLAAUWKLIPPEN: The fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! Both serious athletic contenders and their more indulgent counterparts can sample fresh country fare at the Blaauwklippen estate after the race – you’ll need some tantalising cuisine to help balance all the wine you’ve consumed along the way!
