Say South Africa and you could be talking safaris. Say South African wine and you could be talking Chenin Blanc. Now bring these two national pleasures together by entering a mountain bike Chenin Safari challenge in the Cape Winelands, and you could be having your best autumn ever.
Starting Saturday, May 6, and running through till Saturday, June 10 (also International Drink Chenin Day), legal-age mountain bikers and any other members of the public can create their own itineraries and ride in their own time, stopping off during the six-week window at any of 30 participating Chenin Safari wine farms across the Cape Winelands. Choosing a farm, they pop into the tasting facility and then upload a photograph of their visit as proof.
“It’s a win/win whichever way you look at it,” explains Christina Harvett, manager of the Chenin Blanc Association, that’s organising the Chenin Safari. “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.
“Visit a total of six Chenin Safari stops during the period, upload your images taken at each stop and you’ll earn a designer #Drink Chenin cycling shirt. That’s why it’s essential to register for the Chenin Safari and provide your cycling top size from the get-go,” she urges.
