As summer swings on, a picnic adventure definitely deserves space on your bucket list. Set to be one of the summer’s top picks, Spier Wine farm’s new spot will no doubt be a local favourite.
There are two key ingredients that make for the perfect picnic: natural beauty, and a variety of delicious food choices. At Spier’s historic wine farm, both just so happen to be in abundance.
