Picnics in the Winelands
Spring is in full swing and we are really excited about summer being around the corner. In this month's post we feature our favourite picnic spots around Stellenbosch. Perfect for one of those lazy summer days when you just want to relax and soak up the sun. There are so many places to choose from, but these 3 were chosen due to their popularity amongst all of our wonderful guests.
There’s no shortage of great places to eat in Stellenbosch, but if you’re looking for an outdoor dining experience, this environmentally conscious estate is a spacious and comfortable spot to enjoy a farm-fresh seasonal spread. The beautiful scenery around the Spier dam with views of the Helderberg Mountain provides the perfect setting for a gourmet picnic with plenty of trees for shade and a jungle gym to keep the little ones busy. At Eight to Go Deli you can create your own Gourmet Picnic or you can pre-order a Gourmet Picnic, a day in advance. Spier is one of the stops on the Southern Route with Vine Hopper
