It’s summer in the city (or very nearly) and that means it’s time for afternoons spent lazily lunching on lawns, soaking up our bountiful Cape sunshine. Over the next few weeks we’ll be bringing you a collation of the many picnic opportunities our city and its surrounds has to offer… And this week we’re focusing on laid-back, laid-on lunch picnics on wine estates.
‘Tis very nearly the balmy month of February, and the ever-so balmy suburb of Constantia is, in my opinion, a particularly lovely place to spend the late afternoons and evenings.

Would ya look at this beauty? I found this delectable eggs benedict not at a fancy restaurant or cafe but at market! At the Earth Fair Market in Tokai, to be exact. Two eggs, perfectly poached, on top of a potato and onion rosti, crispy streaky bacon, topped with a hollandaise sauce. Add a glass of Avondale’s biodynamic bubbly to the picture and you have, folks, what I consider a perfect Saturday morning!
A new ‘green’ hotel will be opening in Woodstock just in time for the World Cup… They appear to have a long list of eco-initiatives – big and small – but don’t mention a single one on their own website. Peculiar? Or just an oversight? I’m curious to find out…
