Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival to Launch in Joburg This Women’s Month

Johannesburg – If you’re looking for the ultimate weekend adventure in Johannesburg this August, the Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival will showcase South Africa’s best wines, gourmet foods, and delightful tasting experiences over two memorable days at The Wanderers Club.

Returning to Johannesburg on 8 and 9 August, the festival will present 70 of the country’s top wine estates, offering attendees a journey through South Africa’s famous wine regions, along with exceptional food, live entertainment, and interactive culinary experiences.

From Cap Classique and wine-infused cocktails to Champagne tastings, alongside delicious offerings from the Pick n Pay Fresh Food Market—featuring sushi, artisanal cheeses, charcuterie boards, gourmet burgers, and wood-fired pizzas—there’s something for every palate.

Visitors can relax with friends on the lawns while enjoying live performances and a vibrant festival atmosphere.

Enhancing the experience will be the popular Pick n Pay Tasting Room, infused with Robertsons Spices, where guests can savor expertly paired wines with gourmet canapés curated by celebrity chefs and top producers.

For those looking to add some excitement, the Pick n Pay Liquor Mixology Theatre, presented by Diageo, returns with engaging cocktail-making masterclasses that combine premium spirits with wine in innovative and trend-setting creations.

The festival stage will be buzzing with energy throughout both days, featuring an exciting lineup of live entertainment, competitions, and lucky draws, giving attendees many chances to win amazing prizes.

Saturday afternoon will feature headliner Courus, while Stones & Bones will provide the closing act on Sunday, promising an unforgettable soundtrack to a fantastic weekend.

One of the festival’s cherished aspects remains the opportunity to discover, purchase, and take home favorite wines directly from participating producers.

Festivalgoers can enjoy exclusive event promotions and Smart Shopper discounts while collecting wines sampled throughout the day.

“The Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival is designed to make exceptional wine accessible and enjoyable,” says Gavin Levers, Head of Liquor at Pick n Pay.

“Whether you’re looking for a new favorite, learning from South Africa’s top winemakers, or simply enjoying great food with friends, the festival offers a relaxed and engaging atmosphere where people can taste, learn, and shop all in one venue.”

As one of South Africa’s largest celebrations of local wine, the festival highlights the strength and diversity of the nation’s wine industry while creating meaningful connections between producers and consumers.

It exemplifies Pick n Pay’s commitment to supporting local producers and enhancing premium food and wine experiences for South Africans.

With Women’s Day on Sunday, 9 August, and the public holiday extending into Monday, there’s never been a better reason to gather friends and family for a relaxing day outdoors.

Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or simply seeking a perfect weekend outing, the Pick n Pay Wine & Food Festival Johannesburg promises a celebration of flavor, discovery, and delightful company.
