Picture this. You’re seated in a garden, adorned with beautiful potted plants and twinkling lights. All your favourite humans in tow, sharing a crisp bottle of cold bubbly. If that’s not tempting, we don’t know what is! To quench the insatiable thirst we’ve just brought up for you, we’ve scouted three champagne gardens to visit locally this Spring (and Summer!)
The Ivy Champage Garden

Based in Bedfordview, in Johannesburg, this intimate, relaxing environment shrouded in light, sports incredible views of Johannesburg’s urban forest. Enjoy a sundowner on the rooftop or maybe even a bite to eat from their Afro-Asian inspired menu. Perfect for a group outing, work meetings or a networking session!
St Tropez Gin & Champagne Garden
Joburg Style
This urban sanctuary located in Northriding, in Johannesburg, boasts a relaxed lunch atmosphere with professional flair. The menu promises a range of delicious meals for the foodie aficionados among us, ranging from seafood platters to woodfire pizza and gourmet burgers. As the name suggests, this garden offers a wide range of craft gin and excellent bubbly.
Eden Garden

With a selection of mouth-watering meals and tapas available – and a cocktail menu to complement – you’ll be in the lap of luxury.
