Forget about time and relax with friends, good food and fine wines under ancient oaks by the idyllic Franschhoek River – sounds like a dream come true and it’s as simple as booking a picnic on the Holden Manz Wine Estate.

A picnic is suitable for 2 people.

All baskets include a bottle of our best-selling Holden Manz Rothko Rosé.

    We were rained out but they kindly packed up our three picnics to go! We enjoyed them on the stoop of our guest house. The winery is breathtaking, we will return!

    We had a really nice picknick with lots of good food, a bottle of wine and water. We als got cushions and a blanket. We sat at the other side of the grapevines at the picknickarea with a beautiful view on the mountains. The area was next to a little river, a lot of shadow and nice stoney tables/stools to sit on. Even though we weren’t the only one’s, there was a lot of privacy. Highly recommended.

    We had a very disappointing picnic at Holden Manz… Was expecting an amazing experience, seeing that it’s such a prestigious wine estate. We booked well in advance, but when we arrived, the staff seemed to be totally disorganised with providing picnic baskets and beverage buckets. We stood around for at least half an hour while they gathered the essentials and then we were told we had to carry all the supplies ( quite heavy with ice buckets and bottles of wine plus baskets of food , ground mats and cushions), to the picnic area which was quite far away from the main restaurant. We expected to find a well laid out picnic spot, but that was a pipe dream. There was very little lawn to sit on , and the ‘table’ and seating was old concrete style that could only seat 4 people ( we were a party of 6) The food was good, but the overall experience let us down. There were no staff members to bring fresh beverages snd ice , so we had to walk back to the cellar to procure these. This was no inexpensive picnic, and we expected better service all round. Will definitely seek out a better experience elsewhere.

    Average . Bland food - no spices. No salt and pepper in the basket. Picknick area very nice, but long and difficult walk for elderly and handicapped people - especially when you have to go to the toilet. (no toilets in picknick area) A pull trolley would help with all the basket and blankets.

    Greeting at HM was lovely, and the Picnic Lunch was outstanding. Great value as well as high quality.
