Easter at Jordan Wine Estate: Lunches, Picnics & Family Fun

Easter at Jordan Wine Estate promises more than just chocolate eggs – it’s a celebration of food, wine, and togetherness in the heart of the winelands.

Nestled in the Stellenbosch Kloof Valley, the estate invites families and friends to wine down and indulge in a memorable Easter outing.

Visitors can choose between a leisurely lunch at The Cellar Door restaurant or a relaxed picnic on the lawns, both with panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains

It’s the kind of Easter escapade where there’s something for everyone, from gourmet goodies to outdoor play, all wrapped up in a warm, celebratory atmosphere.

A Feast with a View at The Cellar Door

At The Cellar Door, Easter lunch becomes a laid-back feast with a view. Fresh, seasonal dishes await, combining hearty Cape flavors with contemporary flair. Guests dine al fresco under the trees, perched on the terrace or deck overlooking the estate’s tranquil dam and rolling valley.

It’s a picture-perfect setting: think glasses of award-winning Jordan wine clinking in the autumn sunshine, tables adorned with festive touches, and laughter echoing across the vineyards. The pace here is unhurried and cozy – exactly what a long Easter weekend lunch should be. From the first bite of a delicious farm-to-table entrée to the final sip of Chardonnay, every moment is a feast for the senses (and yes, save room for dessert, because Easter is the perfect excuse for something sweet!).

Picnic Pods: Your Private Easter Hideaway

For those who prefer a more casual celebration, Jordan’s private picnic pods offer an idyllic alternative. Spread out on lush lawns in semi-private comfort, your group can lounge on cushions and blankets as you nibble through a bountiful picnic basket prepared by The Cellar Door. Each basket comes brimming with delectable treats – from artisanal breads and local cheeses to charcuterie and seasonal salads – all thoughtfully packed for two to share. The backdrop to this picnic? Stunning views of the Stellenbosch Kloof Valley and mountains, with ducks gliding on the dam and blue skies above. It’s a choose-your-own Easter paradise: kick off your shoes, pour a glass of Jordan’s chilled rosé, and soak up the autumn sunshine while the kids chase each other on the grass.

Family-Friendly Fun for Everyone

What makes Easter at Jordan truly special is the family-friendly vibe. The team has made sure no one is left out of the fun: Foodies will revel in the gourmet offerings, wine lovers can toast with exceptional estate wines, and even the little ones get their share of delights. At The Cellar Door, children are welcome to join the festive lunch (who says kids can’t appreciate a beautiful mountain view with their meal?). Meanwhile, the picnic experience is practically a child’s dream Easter outing – sprawling lawns to play on, birds and bunnies to spot, and a special kiddies’ picnic basket just for them. Jordan offers “yummy kiddies’ baskets” filled with treats like mini pizzas, sausage rolls, chips, juice, and even a giant cookie for dessert. As the adults unwind, the kids can enjoy their goodies while running and playing on the lawns, safely in sight and utterly entertained. It’s a win-win: happy kids, and happy parents who can relax with that extra glass of wine. In short, whether you’re 8 or 80, Jordan Wine Estate has an Easter experience tailored for you.

Book at The Cellar Door and secure your spot for an egg-cellent Easter celebration. Don’t wait too long to make a reservation – these vineyard-view tables and picnic pods are bound to be hopping with eager guests. Gather your loved ones, head out to Jordan Wine Estate, and get ready to eat, drink, and be merry this Easter in the Cape winelands. Cheers to a hoppy, happy Easter!
