CPT GIG GUIDE: PICK N PAY WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL
The Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival is back this year and looks forward to raising a glass to the country’s incredible wine makers after a tough two years of lockdown. The event will take place on Saturday 31 April and Sunday 1 May 2022, which is a long weekend, so all more reason to join us for a wonderful day of wine tasting!
While Pick n Pay has for a number of years hosted wine festivals around the country, it formally launched its own wine festival in 2020 before the pandemic saw it taking a two-year hiatus. The festival is back and better than ever, with a range of new wines and the must-have favourites you’ve grown to love over the years.
Over 40 estates from wine-producing regions across SA will be represented at the event, and as always, festivalgoers can expect an abundance of choices, all of which will be available for purchase right there, at the same priced you’d pay at the cellar door.
