Coastal Region Vineyard Picnic at Cavalli Estate

Cavalli Estate invites families to enjoy a delightful picnic on the lush lawn of their beautifully landscaped garden, offering breathtaking views of the vineyards and the Helderberg mountain range.

Under the guidance of Head Chef Lucas Carsten, the Cavalli kitchen continues its tradition of seasonal, produce-driven cuisine. Chef Carsten emphasizes the importance of fresh, local ingredients, sourcing over 80% of the kitchen's produce from the estate's own vegetable gardens, which span more than an acre.

Each picnic basket is thoughtfully curated to highlight locally and sustainably sourced ingredients. Guests can look forward to a tempting selection that includes spiced nuts, individual seeded loaves with whipped herb butter, smoked Stanford cheese, pickled grapes, and seeded crackers. The menu also features a caramelized red onion and ricotta quiche, smoked local Franschhoek trout pâté with pickles and poppy seed lavash, and a hearty portion of free-range sesame and ginger chicken softies paired with a crispy grain salad of peas and mint. To satisfy your sweet cravings, a rich Basque cheesecake and citrus madeleines await.

Enhance your picnic experience by purchasing award-winning Cavalli Wines by the bottle from the wine-tasting terrace, perfectly complementing your meal.
