Places to go on a picnic date

Nothing screams like summer without a good old picnic with your significant other or even family and friends.

Here are a few picnic ideas for you to explore on your next date:   

Cape Point Vineyard

Cape Point Vineyard has a beautiful view of Noordhoek beach. The picnic site at this award-winning winery is hard to beat. It is the ideal spot for a picnic date with your significant other.  

There are three picnic spots to choose from: the secluded area next to the dam (no kids allowed), ideal for romantic picnics; the family area (plenty of shade, and easy access to the jungle gym); or the mid-level picnic lawns (ideal for larger groups, with unhindered ocean views). Vegetarian baskets are available and children can order off the kids’ menu.

Hazendal Babushka Picnics

Another award-winning estate wine or botanical fruit cordials from the Babushka, Hazendal is all green and clam. It is a wonderful relaxed place for a picnic which takes on the lawns of the estate.  

The feast is presented in beautiful bespoke wicker baskets, filled with alfresco eats crafted from fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. It’s easy-to-manage picnic fare, and the flavour combinations are great.
