The 20 Best Picnics in Cape Town + The Winelands

Picnic Spots

There’s no shortage of magnificent places to eat out(side) in Cape Town.

Nothing says “summertime and the living is easy” quite like an alfresco meal. Fortunately, we live in a city that’s blessed with a dreamy climate and spectacular natural beauty, so throwing down a blanket and unpacking a hamper is as easy as pie.

Talking of pies… few things compare to the thrill of unwrapping lovingly packed nibbles, and clinking a chilled glass of wine, as you stretch out under a tree with a bunch of friends.

And if you’re looking for ease, convenience and gourmet eats, you’re in luck. Many of our wine farms offer ready-packed picnic hampers full of delicious goodies, cushions and blankets set up on lawns, or in secluded picnic pods. So all you have to do is call (a day or two ahead), book your spot, and pitch up on the day.

Which are your favourites? We’d love to hear from you in the comments below.
