Cycling Routes
Elim Wine & Food Celebration. 6 October 2012.
The morning started with three mountain bike races and a vineyard-to-vineyard trail run/walk. The 70km bike race allowed bikers to enjoy the sea views from the Soetanysberg in the Agulhas National Park. Bikers also rode past the Nuwejaars Wetland Special Management Area's Cape Buffalo. The buffalo are the first to be reintroduced to the Agulhas Plain in around 200 years.
According to Black Oystercatcher owner Dirk Human, the Elim Wine and Food Celebration will now become an annual event. "The day gives us, the Elim Wine Growers, the opportunity to present and celebrate all that is the Elim-area, not to mention the region's exceptionally cool-climate wines. Our thanks go to everyone who enjoyed the day with us. And we hope to see you next year."
