JOBURG GEARS UP FOR THE SECOND PICK N PAY FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL OF 2022
5 October 2022: For the second time this year, the Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival will treat Joburgers to the best the Cape Winelands has to offer, this time at the Wanderers Club Cricket fields in Illovo. The two-day wine, food and lifestyle event will take place on Saturday, 22 October, and Sunday, 23 October.
This event promises to be bigger and better than ever after sold-out festivals in Cape Town, Durban and Waterfall Park at Mall of Africa earlier this year.
These popular events offer festivalgoers a bounty of wonderful wines and the chance to indulge in a selection of delicious food options while relaxing in open seating areas and soaking up the sounds of local live music.
Bubbly lovers are in for a real treat with a dedicated sparkling wine experience, where Cap Classique and sparkling wine will abound for your tasting pleasure. Bubblies to look forward to are Krone, JC le Roux, Graham Beck and a whole lot more. There will also be French Champagne available for tasting.
Over 40 estates from wine-producing regions across SA, including estates such as Groot Constantia, Thelema, Kanonkop and Meerlust, will be represented at the event, and as always, festivalgoers can expect an abundance of choices to taste and enjoy. Once you’ve discovered the wines you love the most, you can purchase them for further enjoyment at the festival, or for at home.
“South African wines have an exceptional story to tell, and what better way than to tell it than in person, at a fully interactive wine and food experience,” says Gavin Ievers, head of Pick n Pay Liquor.
“Our stores have become ‘the home of South African wine’ as we continually list more local brands on our shelf and online shop. This festival lets us elevate our wine experience to customers, while pairing it with only the best food to deliver a really fun and relaxing day out with friends,” says Ievers.
Always a firm favourite is the Pick n Pay Tasting Room, where different wine makers and professional chefs present a culinary journey featuring exquisite wines superbly paired with melt-in-your-mouth canapés. The 30-minute sessions are hugely popular and sell out fast, so make sure you book early to secure your spot.
Where there’s wine, there’s food, and a bounteous feast to purchase awaits at the Pick n Pay Food Lane, where you will find the best Pick n Pay has to offer, prepared by professional chefs. Look forward to fish and chips, fresh salads, sushi, and indulgent braai and charcuterie boards. Pick n Pay’s Burger Truck and Pizza Truck will also be serving their popular meals. There will also be an option to pre-order a picnic bag which includes delicious items such as Pick n Pay’s finest cheeses, cured meats, fresh bread, biltong and hummus.
