VINE-TO-HOP TRAIL RUN 2022

Darling Brew and Groote Post Winery have something new up their collective events sleeve, and the name says it all - you will be running from Groote Post Winery to Darling Brew. 

We are excited to introduce the very first Vine To Hop Trail Run. Our talented trail developers have decided to create epic new routes that venture off the beaten track to take participants right through the heart of Darling's Winelands and straight to the beer.

Enjoy the beautiful, unspoiled areas around our little hamlet in the scenic Swartland, and join us this year to run these beautiful and otherwise inaccessible Darling routes in your own time and at your own pace!
