Returning to the Mother City in its current format for the fifth time, the Pick n Pay Wine and Food Festival promises a world of flavour in two afternoons of fun with friends and family over the age of 18 at its new venue at the Claremont Cricket Club in Constantia.
Festival-goers can taste award-winning wine from over 40 top South African producers on Saturday April 27 and Sunday April 28.
Bubbly fans can visit the dedicated Sparkling Experience section for the best local Cap Classique and French Champagne tasting options, which can be enjoyed with a plate of fresh oysters.
Wine enthusiasts are also in for a treat with the return of the Pick n Pay Tasting Room sessions, where guests are expertly guided by a chef and winemaker to pair the wine featured in the session with freshly-prepared canapés.
A selection of pizzas, burgers, cheese and charcuterie platters, fish and chips, grilled chicken espetada, and sushi, along with vegan and vegetarian offerings will be available at the Pick n Pay Fresh Food Market.
There is exclusive early access to the festival from noon for Pick n Pay Wine Club members and general access is from 1pm. The event closes at 6pm on both days.
Tickets are priced from R275 per person (includes tasting glass and 20 wine tasting vouchers) for general access, with the option to add a 30-minute Tasting Room session at R100 per person per session, and a Pick n Pay Picnic Bag (serves 2) at R295.
For a VIP experience, there are hospitality tickets at R2 850 per person, which includes a tasting glass, 20 wine tasting vouchers, and a complimentary food and drinks service all day in an exclusive and comfortable shaded hospitality area.
