As the long summer days begin to soften into golden evenings, Nederburg invites you to linger a little longer and experience something truly special – their new ‘Under the Stars’ evening picnics.
This December, on three unforgettable nights, the farm will open its lawns after sunset for a series of relaxed, music-filled evenings that capture the easy magic of a South African summer.
Picture it: the sun dipping behind the mountains, soft music in the background, laughter carrying through the warm air. You’re stretched out on a blanket beneath the trees, a glass of Nederburg wine in hand, the scent of summer herbs mingling with freshly cut grass. It’s laid-back, beautiful and unmistakably Nederburg – where hospitality and heart meet under the night sky.
Each picnic basket is thoughtfully curated to showcase local, seasonal flavours – a true taste of the Cape Winelands. Expect a feast that begins with local cheeses, marinated olives and seasonal fruit, paired with house-made onion marmalade and crisp lavash. Enjoy the artisanal bread with whipped butter, smoked trout pâté, and grilled free-range chicken in a velvety coronation sauce with almonds and apricots.
Rustic baby potato salad, pickled beetroot with creamy feta, and a fresh garden salad round off the savoury selection. To finish, indulge in classic South African milk tart and peppermint crisp tart, both as nostalgic as they are delicious.
The experience is open to everyone – couples looking for a romantic night out, families wanting to make the most of the holidays, and friends simply seeking a beautiful evening together. The expansive lawns provide plenty of space for kids to play, and well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome too. Bring your own blanket or low chairs, find your spot beneath the stars, and let the evening unfold.
Each Under the Stars event features live local music to set the tone:
- 13 December: Newton & Co
- 20 December: Johan van der Merwe
- 27 December: Juan Casey
