STEENBERG VINEYARDS INTRODUCES PICNICS FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON
Steenberg Vineyards has introduced decadent picnics for the festive season at R300 for a basket for 2 – including a bottle of Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc or Merlot. These will be available from 16 December, served daily between 11:00 and 17:00, offering visitors another great Steenberg wine experience by relaxing on the rolling lawn with friends and family.
It is the philosophy of Steenberg that the enjoyment of wine should be spontaneous and de-cluttered, yet still offering an exceptional experience. This is exactly what the Steenberg picnics are about, and this summer there will be little to beat the simple pleasure of a day spent enjoying the magical setting of this working wine farm in the heart of the Constantia Valley!
The Steenberg picnic offers a medley of scrumptious goodies from the pantry of Food Fanatics, one of Cape Town’s leading catering companies. Picnic-goers may indulge in lip-smacking fare that includes Mini French Style Baguettes enjoyed with a generous spread of the accompanying Home-made Smoked Salmon or Mushroom and Thyme Patè, topped with tempting Cape Cheeses from Dalewood Fromage in Klapmuts. The delicious Charcuterie selection provided by Martin Raubenheimer of Cure Deli fame will no doubt add to the sensory delight, along with Goat’s Cheese Tartlets, Baby Potato Salad and Baby Bocconcini Salad. Ending off on a sweet note, melt-in-the-mouth Chocolate Brownies are sure to prove irresistible, while a bottle of one of Steenberg’s superb ‘food’ wines rounds off this perfect picnic.
Green consciousness is part of the picnic package, with everything in the picnic hamper being biodegradable: from the recycled wine cartons to food containers and cutlery. Added to this is the choice of suppliers – based on their penchant for using local produce, and for supporting farmers who employ humane farming methods.
Guests are welcome to bring along a picnic blanket and settle in a sunny spot on the lawn next to the reflection pools, or recline in the shade of a tree after a bout of wine-tasting at the Tasting Bar in the Steenberg Winery. To work off some energy a leisurely stroll through the vineyards, or a game of Boules in true French style, may round off a yet another perfect day in the Cape winelands.
While reservations are not essential for single picnic baskets, pre-bookings are essential for groups. Kiddies’ picnics are available on request, as are picnic baskets with special occasions and requests. Group picnics are available by prior arrangement for Christmas parties and corporate functions too.
