If you’re after some good vibes and fun in the sun for the whole family this coming Easter Weekend, make your way to The Manor at the Nederburg farm, set against the imposing Drakenstein Mountains near Paarl.
Soak up the last bit of summer sunshine while creating special memories with the historic 1800 manor house as backdrop. There will be picnics, an Easter bunny, egg hunts and lawn games for adults and kids, a jumping castle and jungle gym (for the little ones), live music, and wine and food served fresh from The Manor’s kitchen.
Easter egg hunts
Egg hunts are scheduled for the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the long weekend. Each day, it starts at 10h00 for kids (R30 fee, including an Easter treat, and one winner receiving a chocolate hamper). The adults' egg hunts start at 11h00 (R50 fee, including a glass of bubbly). Participating adults stand the chance to win a variety of Nederburg wines, a picnic, and wine tasting vouchers.
What's more, Nederburg’s Easter bunny will be there to surprise and delight the little ones and pose with them for pictures.
Food and wine
A wide range of Nederburg’s delicious wines will be available. These can be enjoyed with scrumptious fare from the blackboard special menu. The menu items are:
- Grilled pickled fish sosaties served with fragrant rice and homemade chutney

The team will also be offering an Easter bread service with favourites such as hot-cross buns, mini vetkoeke, pâtés and preserves. Dishes on The Manor’s à la carte menu will also be available to order.
