Make the most of the sunny autumn weather and taste some of South Africa’s finest wines with delicious food at the Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival this April.

Returning to the Mother City in its current format for the fifth time, the popular 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.

To the sound of live music, festivalgoers can taste award-winning wine from over 40 top South African producers. Meanwhile 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. With each of these popular sessions only accommodating 50 guests, booking is essential.

The Pick n Pay Fresh Food Market will ensure you don’t go hungry with a selection of delicious pizzas, burgers, cheese and charcuterie platters, fish and chips, grilled Chicken Espetada, and sushi, along with vegan and vegetarian offerings.

The festival will be held on Saturday, 27 April, and Sunday, 28 April 2024, with exclusive Pick n Pay Wine Club Member Early Access from 12pm and general access from 1pm. The event closes at 6pm on both days.

Tickets are priced from R275 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.
