The gourmet picnic baskets bring together a generous selection of savoury bites and sweet treats, ready to enjoy on the lawns during the festival.
Taking place at Nederburg Wines in Paarl on Saturday, 28 November 2026, the Grenache Collective celebrates the versatile Grenache grape. More than 10 Paarl Wine Route producers will be bringing their wines together for a walk-around tasting, with Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc, Rosé and Grenache-led blends among the styles on offer.
The picnic menu has a mix of hearty favourites, fresh accompaniments and something sweet to finish. It is a menu made for sharing while enjoying an afternoon on the lawns, with a little something for different tastes. Only 15 picnic baskets are available, so pre-ordering early is recommended. Savoury items include:
- Barbecue Buffalo Wings
- Rare Roast Beef with Horseradish Aioli
- Couscous Salsa
- Italian Potato Salad
- Three Local Cheeses
- Home-baked Bread with Flavoured Butter
- Marinated Olives
- Onion Marmalade
- Summer Fruits
The sweet selection includes Brownies and Dadelballetjies, as well as Cranberry White Chocolate Crunchy.
The picnic baskets are sold separately from the Grenache Collective festival tickets. Purchasing a basket does not include festival admission, so guests should make sure they arrange their event tickets separately.
The festival runs from 12:00 to 19:00 at Nederburg Wines, Sonstraal Road, Paarl. Alongside the walk-around tastings, the programme includes a Grenache masterclass at 14:00, a Grenache wine-blending workshop at 15:00 and an art workshop at 16:00. Tickets for these additional experiences are set to be released soon.
Pre-orders for the picnic baskets are available through Quicket. With only 15 baskets on offer, it is worth getting the food plans sorted before settling in for an afternoon of Grenache.
