The Java MTB and Trail Run is back!!

Celebrate family, outdoors and International Pinotage Day at the Java MTB & Trail Run at Van Loveren on 10 October 2026.

Inspired by our much-loved African Java Pinotage, the Java MTB & Trail Run brings together adventure, community and the great outdoors in the heart of the Robertson Valley.

Whether you're taking on the mountain bike routes, joining the 5 km fun run or simply soaking up the atmosphere, this is a day designed for families, friends and wine lovers alike.
Make a full day of it with live music, delicious food and a glass of Java Pinotage as we celebrate International Pinotage Day in true Van Loveren style.

Proceeds from every entry will go towards supporting a local school, making every pedal, every step and every entry part of something bigger for our community.

Bring the family. Bring your friends. Join us as we put the Java in your day.
