Benguela Cove Wine Estate brings an Easter Egg Hunt filled with fun and prizes, running across the Easter long weekend from Friday 3 to Sunday 5 April 2026. Set against the estate's 200-hectare maritime landscape, the event gives children aged 4 to 12 a chance to explore the grounds, discover the natural surroundings, and compete for a range of prizes - all for R150 per child.

The trail runs on the hour with slots between 10:00 to 15:00 each day. As a WWF Conservation Champion winery situated within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Benguela Cove uses the occasion to connect children with the landscape they're moving through - each stop on the trail introduces young Eggsplorers to the natural environment that makes this estate so distinct.

Every child who completes the trail receives an Easter goodie packet and qualifies for a tiered prize structure - details of which are kept firmly under wraps until the day. What the estate will confirm: there are multiple ways to win, the prizes are worth hunting for, and the golden egg is the one to find.

"We wanted to create something that felt genuinely rewarding for children and give families a reason to make a proper weekend of it," says the Benguela Cove events team. 

Benguela Cove Wine Estate hosts its Cap Classique Brunch on Sunday 29 March 2026, bringing together three of the estate's award-winning Méthode Cap Classique wines and a three-course pairing menu in an intimate setting on the Cape Whale Coast.

The event is limited to 30 guests and takes place on the estate's 220-hectare WWF Conservation Champion property.

The experience includes:

• An oyster tower on arrival, served with lemon, Tabasco, and a Brut pour
• Second course: deep-fried chicken with mini waffles, fresh raspberries, strawberries, and maple drizzle
• Third course: shredded confit duck eggs Benedict with hollandaise on toasted ciabatta
• Cap Classique wine pairings throughout, featuring Joie de Vivre, Cuvée 58 NV, and Cuvée 58 Rosé

This intimate experience will be hosted by Winemaker Trudie Mulder, an exciting new addition to Benguela Cove’s team.

All three of Benguela Cove's Cap Classiques are produced from 100% estate-grown fruit, using the traditional bottle-fermentation method. The estate's cool maritime climate produces wines with the fruit purity and acidity that make them a natural match for a food-driven brunch format.

Estate wines are available to purchase on the day. Luxury villa accommodation is available to book separately for guests extending their visit.

Date: Sunday, 29 March 2026 | Time: 11:00 - 14:00 | Ticket price: R750 per person (fully inclusive)  

Celebrate Easter weekend with our curated Harvest Picnic Basket for two, filled with seasonal artisanal treats and festive sweets—perfect for a relaxed outdoor escape.
