Let’s be honest. There’s not much that can top a picnic in the winelands on a beautiful day. Literally kicking back to enjoy a spread of delicious eats paired with your favourite bottle of wine, surrounded by vineyards and views.

If you love music and wine, this guide is for you. From local rock bands to an international multi-platinum selling artist, the Winelands offers an exciting lineup of live music concerts this autumn. So, get ahead of your busy schedule and diarise these music events now.

No road trip to the winelands is complete without pulling over for a pitstop at one of the characterful farm stalls en-route.

‘Padstal’ is actually the Afrikaans word that many locals use, and roughly translated it fittingly means “shop next to the road”.
