Climb aboard for a relaxed day out to the Cape’s countryside as we travel from Cape Town to Mamre Weg (about 10 km outside Darling) for a memorable picnic stop at Darling Cellars.

Onboard, the Darling Cellars team will host informal wine chats and tastings, with wines available to purchase by the glass from the bar.

At Darling Cellars, guests can enjoy a lively yet laid-back atmosphere with entertainment/DJ, kiddies activities, and a fully branded Darling Cellars experience.

Guests are encouraged to pack their own picnic for the journey, as very limited food sales will be available at the venue and delivery times cannot be guaranteed. All drinks are required to be purchased onboard or at the venue.

Spa services will be available onboard, offering guests the option to add an extra touch of relaxation to their journey.

This experience is ideal for friends, families, and wine lovers looking for a social escape—without the hassle of driving.
