A Children’s Picnic at Vergenoegd Wine Estate

children's picnic at vergenoegd wine estate in stellenbosch, south africa

My boys had a picnic under the sunny blue skies at Vergenoegd Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa last month on our visit to Cape Town, South Africa and loved it. So much room to run and play and activities to do.

My husband & I loved the tea and coffee blending experiences, the wine, the bubbly, all 3 courses of the harvest lunch prepared by talented Chef Ryan, the farm to table food idea, the long table with everyone eating together and all the activities for the kids (child minding was a bonus).

It was truly a fun afternoon for the whole

We’re back home in Canada and are still talking about our time at Vergenoegd. A full story about our experience is coming soon.
Note: We visited Vergenoegd Wine Estate by invitation from Destinate and Vergenoegd Wine Estate. As always, all opinions are my own.

I spent a weekend at my dear friend’s family home in the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape between Qunu and Mqhekezweni, immersed in amaXhosa culture. It was a weekend I will not soon forget and takes a spot in my heart.
