Yes, winter picnics are a thing, and Spier Wine Farm will host the picnics all this winter so you can book your spot for this weekend and enjoy their seasonal menus, warming winter sunshine, and deliciously wholesome and hearty food from their farm kitchen in Stellenbosch, Cape Town.
“Our Werf is an all-season beauty, as inviting in winter as it is throughout the year. Roll out the picnic blanket, breathe in invigorating fresh farm air, and enjoy a nutritious and delicious basket of Spier favourites.”
