    We had ordered a vegetarian picnic. All was ready when we arrived. The food was delicious and we sat in the shade by the vineyards and little stream. Beautiful views and so peaceful sipping a fantastic Rose. A great experience, thank you.

    We had a really unique experience with our picnic at Holden Manz, and everything exceeded our expectations, in the best possible way! Upon arriving we were asked if we'd like rosé or red wine for our basket, and got to try both before choosing, which was a very nice extra gesture. The basket contained a LOT of food, all fresh and so good that we asked for a doggy bag for what we had left. We got a large picnic blanket, two comfy pillows, and an ice bucket for our water and wine, everything one could need. To top it all off, we could then walk through vines down to a beautiful river and find ourselves the most magical and private little spot for our picnic, with the option of putting stuff on tables if needed, and with lots of trees for shade. Everything was just perfect!

    The visit to Holden Manz was excellent from start to finish. We began with a wine tasting, everything explained to us by Simone in a very cheery, entertaining way. We had booked the picnic so picked up our basket, wine bucket with rose wine and water, cushions and picnic rug and took a short walk throughcthe vines to a picnic area right next to a burbling river and chose a place to sit. There are concrete benches and tables well spaced along the river, in shade and in sun or you can lay out your picnic rug on a grasdy area, all have a wonderful view of the mountains and the area is so peaceful and tranquil. The picnic food was delicious and ample portions for two people. The trout pate was my favourite but all the choices were wonderful. There is also a vegetarian option. After eating we strolled along by the river and took in the magnificent scenery before strolling back to the main winery with our picnic basket. A wonderful way to spend a laid back afternoon in stunning surroundings. We have had picnics at a couplebof the larger more commercial wineries but this will be our first choice from now on.
