Saturday, 14 December 2024 | 10h00 to 18h00
We're celebrating the arrival of Summer and all the good things that come with it!
You can pre-book and pay for a picnic box for two adults, offering a delicious selection of antipasti-style things, from sourdough to local cheeses, cured meats and dips - a gourmet experience perfect for sharing. You can also book and pay for the kids' version - a little picnic bag on a stick filled with a selection of things for little palates to graze on, something to drink, and a small surprise. Of course, other food options will be available on the day - the most delicious paella, beautiful oysters (with lots of Madame Lucy's MCC!), a very special Thai curry (from our friend Nic in Elgin) and more.
Taste some new wine releases, a couple of older vintages from the vinotheque, or simply fill your glass with your favourite Gabriëlskloof wine, collect your picnic box, find a spot on the stoep or lawn, and chill!
Kids can join Zola of Crazylicious Cookies for a guided "decorate your own cookie" class, sign up for a special treasure hunt, grab a rod and "fish" in our ponds or enjoy the jumping castle. There will also be some activities for adults - we've asked some of our friends to come and host mini-workshops on the day:
10h00 to 15h00 - Dip your own Beeswax birthday candles with Susan Walker of WikiCandles (R150pp)- no booking necessary
10h00 - Yoga with Pauline Leppan of Yogaheart (R100 for 60minutes) - no booking necessary
12h00 - Watercolour wonder with Tamzin of Moon & Brush - paint your own Christmas cards (R300pp) - booking essential
15h00 - Wreath-making workshop with Kate Semple of Andreas Topiaries (R650pp) - booking essential
Entrance for one adult - this "ticket" will get you a glass of wine upon arrival, along with your entry.
