If you’ve ever fantasized about the perfect picnic — think lush vineyard views, artisan nibbles, and a chilled bottle of wine ready to pour — Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate has turned the dream into a very real, very delicious outing.
Their signature picnic basket (R750 without wine or R900 with wine) is designed for two, but it packs enough gourmet punch to feel like a feast.
It’s got all the hits: fresh ciabatta and cheese straws, olives, speciality cold meats, two kinds of cheese, and more snacks than your picnic blanket can probably hold. There’s even cheesecake, chocolate brownies, and caramel popcorn to round things off in sweet style.
- The wine? You get to choose one from their lineup of favourites — Moody Lagoon Red, Sauvignon Blanc, or something with bubbles like Cuvée Brut or Cuvée Rosé. Plastic wine glasses are included, because Benguela Cove knows you didn’t come here to sip from a paper cup.
- And yes, kiddies are covered too. Their mini basket (R250) is packed with crowd-pleasers: fruit salad, jelly tots, crisps, a juice box, and a ham-and-cheese toastie. It’s the kind of setup where the grown-ups relax and the little ones stay happily occupied.
Laid-back luxury is the name of the game — just book your basket, pick your wine, and settle in for a carefree afternoon of sunshine and snacking along the water’s edge. Because some of life’s best meals come in baskets.
