Blaauwklippen group and events manager Nanette Cloete said the estate offered wine and brandy tastings, cellar tours and a market among other activities.
“Mountain bikers can look forward to experiencing all our facilities, enjoying good food and good wine while relaxing on our lush green lawns after a tough day out on the Origin of Trails route.”
Event manager Alexa Cunningham added that there was plenty to do for the whole family, including pony rides and a petting zoo for children.
“What better way to end off the mountain biking season than with family and friends, surrounded by mountain bikes and eating great food on a wine farm in one of the most beautiful towns in the world.”
The feature race covers between 60 and 65km per day, with the short course approximately half that distance.
