Sunday 5 October 2025
Sunset 18h50 – Moonrise scheduled 17h08
(visible at the look-out by approximately 18h00)
Experience a magical evening hike at Muratie Wine Estate, where the sunset meets the rising full moon! Bring along a picnic and enjoy breathtaking views with a glass of Muratie’s award-winning wine. After sunset, continue the adventure as the trail winds back through the forest, illuminated by your headlamp under the full moon.
This circular trail, crafted by trail designer Meurant Botha, begins at the Dirtopia Trail Centre and leads to a lookout point, where you can marvel at views of Simonsberg, the Winelands, and even Table Mountain. Here, you can buy four Muratie wines from the MCC, Dry Rose, Laurens Campher White or the Melck’s Dry Red blend.
The route features over 200 steps and is 3,5km in total of well-marked singletrack trails. The hike to the picnic spot is approximately 2km and takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your pace. Plan your arrival from 4.00pm at the Trail Centre, but no later than 5.00pm. After sunset & moonrise (by 18h00), it only takes about 20 to 30 minutes back to the trailhead at Dirtopia on Muratie.
What to Bring:
• A backpack with your own food/picnic and blanket for the lookout point.
• Jacket/sweater for after dark.
• A torch or headlamp.
