The 5th Cape Country Picnic Festival at Bien Donné Farm in Simondium near Franschhoek will be staged on 13, 14 and 15 February 2009.

The food & wine market will ensure that festival goers will have access to a spread of local foods and wine.

As a visitor, you arrive empty handed, browse through the food and wine stalls and get your picnic goodies from stall to stall. You then return to the big lawn area and enjoy your picnic while relaxing to the sounds of great live music. There are both lunch and evening concert sessions. Kids are well catered for over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
