    We enjoyed our picnic very much. Unfortunately it was a windy day.. but the idea, arrangements and the surroundings are very nice.

    While we loved the beautiful picnic area, we did feel that the food was underwhelming in terms of quality and presentation (considering the price). We found the blankets and pillows provided quite aesthetically outdated. Despite booking a particular slot - our group had to wait about 25 minutes for our baskets to be ready. We found the staff to be very friendly, yet unprepared, but the complimentary glass of wine on entry was appreciated and the restaurant burgers were delicious.

    We were very lucky to have Niel assist us with the booking and he also lead our wine tasting, what a wonderful experience. Thank you Niel. By the way, some of the best red wine in the world.

    Good afternoon! This is the second time we have visited this place, a very calm, quiet place with a beautiful view of the mountain. There are concrete tables and benches, a bit of lawn along the road. This time we booked for 13-30 and the day was hot +34 When we came to pick up our baskets with food and wine, our bucket with wine and water, which should have ice, was filled with water. This means that they collected our basket of food in the morning and half the day our food, different types of salads, stood in the heat. Of course, we were poisoned and two of us had problems with diarrhea. If the management of this winery will read this review, please note that cooked food should not be outside the refrigerator. We are now afraid to recommend your good picnic winery, knowing how your staff prepares and stores ready-made picnic food. Anyway, the place is great and I will definitely come to their winery, they seem to have a great selection of wines. Yes, the food itself was delicious and varied and I liked it more than in Boskendal. They give out very comfortable blankets adapted for picnics and pillows, all paper dishes, eco friendly. Wine glasses, real glass, very comfortable and beautiful.

    Hi Valeria Thank you for your comments which we take seriously. We prepare the picnics to be ready at noon for first collections. The restaurant space is air conditioned so the picnic should be food stable in that environment for 90 minutes. We will review our procedures to ensure you dont get a similar experience in the future. Thank you for your positive comments.
