Picnic fever
2006-02-23
THE first Cape Country Picnic Festival on Bien Donné Farm in Simondium is being held this weekend from tomorrow until Sunday.
The festival offers a relaxed outing for family and friends. There is a kiddies' den for the toddlers, quad bikes, wall climbing and pony rides for the kids, helicopter flips for the high flyers, great live and background music.
Bring your own cutlery and picnic blanket, then purchase all your picnic ingredients from the food stalls. Enjoy the deli-like products from stall to stall or simply buy a ready-packed picnic. Taste and buy wines of the surrounding winelands.
Food stalls include De Volkskombuis Restaurant, Red Pepper Deli, Spier Deli, Boschendal, Checkers and their Cheese of the World and the Pesto Princess.
Wineries include producers Ashanti Wine Estate, Eikendal Vineyards, Vrede en Lust, Delheim Wines, Simonsig Family Vintners, Swartland Cellars and Rietvallei.
