Cape Town\u2019s<\/a> natural beauty and mild climate basically scream ‘picnic’, and whether you want to source ingredients yourself (hello Woolworths deli<\/a> counter, Oranjezicht market<\/a> et al) and put together the perfect wicker basket, prefer to pick up a ready-prepared option, or opt for the full-service works, a picnic in the Mother City is sure to be a hit. Too much choice? We\u2019re always happy to help (especially when it comes to all things food), so here are some of our top picnic spots in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

Set up a feast in the park<\/h2>\n

Our beautiful city is certainly not short on green spaces \u2013 and what better way to enjoy them than with a delicious picnic? Company\u2019s Garden is one such green oasis right in the CBD. Meander around, grab a coffee from the Company\u2019s Garden\u00a0Restaurant<\/a> and pick a shady spot to lounge in while the kids play giant chess and climb into the oversized ‘birds nests’. \u00a0Another great spot for a picnic is Green Point Park,<\/a>\u00a0a delightfully unexpected green space in the heart of the buzzing Mother City. If you happen to be picnicking at the weekend, stop by the ever popular Oranjezicht Market<\/a> at the Waterfront first to stock up on freshly baked bread, hummus, juice and pastries, then recline on a grassy spot or choose one of the available picnic tables. There\u2019s also a big playground to let the little ones loose in.<\/p>\n

Indulge in a picnic at a Constantia Valley wine farm<\/h2>\n

Groot Constantia<\/a>, South Africa\u2019s<\/a> oldest wine-producing estate, boasts majestic vineyard views, making it a top Cape Town<\/a> picnic spot. We like pre-ordering a picnic hamper from Simon\u2019s Deli<\/a>: filled with a variety of goodies including p\u00e2t\u00e9s and dips, baguettes, cured and home-cooked cold cuts, salads, local cheeses, biscuits and preserves, and a sweet treat. Simply add a bottle of the estate\u2019s award-winning wine and let the reclining begin. Another stellar picnic spot is Eagle\u2019s Nest<\/a> \u2013 the wine farm doesn\u2019t offer a picnic as such but the cold meat and cheese platters, best enjoyed alfresco alongside the little stream, are a real treat.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

Cape Point Vineyards is the spot if you’re looking for wine, food and breathtaking views.<\/p><\/div>\n

Escape to beautiful Noordhoek<\/h2>\n

At the end of Chapman\u2019s Peak Drive you\u2019ll happen upon Cape Point Vineyards<\/a>, a wine estate with rather special views overlooking the seemingly endless Noordhoek beach. Pick a spot on the lawns, just next to the tranquil dam, and tuck into the mouthwatering contents of your pre-ordered picnic basket, which includes the likes of vegetable quiche, fish p\u00e2t\u00e9, curried chicken and a gooey chocolate brownie. And as it\u2019s a wine farm, it would be rude not to wash the whole thing down with a bottle of vino!<\/p>\n

Explore a lavish botanical garden<\/h2>\n

As far as top picnic spots in Cape Town<\/a> are concerned, it doesn\u2019t get much better than the lush flora of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens<\/a>. Bring your own picnic or order a sandwich-salad-dessert-drink combination from the Kirstenbosch Tea Room, then wile away the afternoon on the expansive lawns. Hitting one of the summer evening concerts at the gardens? These twilight soirees are the perfect excuse for a sunset picnic and Capetonians go all out, often arriving with picnic baskets, chairs, silverware, bottles of bubbly and of course, the pick of the deli counter at Woolworths.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a picnic dinner on the beach<\/h2>\n

Late afternoon or early evening is a great time for a sunset beach picnic. If you don\u2019t fancy your food with a hefty dose of sand (thanks to the infamous South Eastern wind)\u00a0join the beautiful people on one of Clifton\u2019s (usually wind-free) beaches. Oudekraal, just between Camps Bay and Llandudno, is another picture perfect spot. Set against the backdrop of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, this private boulder-enclosed beach features a number of grassy spots under milkwood trees \u2013 top picnic munching material. Then there\u2019s Beta Beach, a hidden gem in Bakoven. The tiny strip of sand and rocks is tucked away behind the bungalows and is a blissfully tranquil picnic spot. A word of warning \u2013 liquor is not allowed on Cape Town\u2019s<\/a> beaches, so it will have to be an ice-tea affair.<\/p>\n

Dine in style as you overlook the Twelve Apostles and Camps Bay Beach at The Lawns<\/p><\/div>\n

Grab a bite on a lawn high above Camps Bay<\/h2>\n

The Lawns at The Roundhouse<\/a> is the kind of place that Capetonians prefer to (almost) keep to themselves – and for good reason. Think dazzling views across Camps Bay, a Table Mountain backdrop, and stylish picnic cabanas for an upmarket outdoor dining experience. Massive beanbags, scattered cushions, twinkly fairy-lights and shady draping encourage maximum lounging, and the tasty picnic baskets are delivered straight to you. Simply lean back, put the wine on ice and soak up the atmosphere – in summer you\u2019ll also get to listen to The Lawns\u2019 chilled-out sunset music sessions.<\/p>\n

Eats and sunsets on a mountain<\/h2>\n

Want to burn some calories before your picnic? Then stuff your deli fare in your backpack and climb Lion\u2019s Head or Table Mountain. At the top, unpack your goodies and toast your hiking success from the summits, gazing across Cape Town spread out below you. If that sounds too strenuous, take the cable car instead, or drive up to the highest point of Signal Hill at the base of Lion’s Head, gazing out at the Atlantic and Robben Island while munching on ciabatta, prosciutto and olives \u2013 most definitely one of our top picnic spots in Cape Town<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

A champagne picnic underneath a majestic mountain range, does it get more romantic?<\/p><\/div>\n

Private meals at the foot of The Twelve Apostles<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s fair to say that The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa<\/a> offers the Rolls Royce of picnic experiences. The private picnic spot<\/a> on the hotel grounds affords glorious views of the Atlantic and mountains. A romantic picnic table is laid out for you, complete with tablecloth, glasses, cutlery and plates, and a picnic basket filled to the brim with culinary delights such as smoked salmon, bobotie quiche with peach chutney, and passionfruit madeleines \u2013 all topped off with a bottle of Mo\u00ebt & Chandon, naturally.<\/p>\n
