The Pick n Pay Tasting Room experience deepens appreciation for wine and food and is hosted by different wine farms throughout the weekend. During the 30-minute session, wine producers and chefs expertly pair freshly prepared gourmet canapes with wines to create an engaging atmosphere for appreciating and enjoying the characteristics of the various wines.

Once you’ve whetted your appetite, pick up your pre-ordered picnic bag filled with Pick n Pay’s finest cheeses, cured meats, fresh bread, biltong, and hummus, or visit the Pick n Pay Fresh Food Market. This offers dishes prepared with fresh ingredients, such as fish and chips, fresh salads, sushi, indulgent cheese, and charcuterie boards. Pick n Pay’s Burger & Pizza Trucks will also serve their famous dishes.
