If you are looking for picnic spots in Stellenbosch, The Farmhouse is the place to visit. This welcoming and polished space is both a coffee bar and deli hub, bringing together speciality coffee roasted on site, fresh juices, iced drinks, and Blaauwklippen’s renowned wines by the glass or bottle. The deli serves a scrumptious selection of pastries and cakes, toasted sandwiches and wraps, salads, artisanal breads, and grab-and-go snacks that are perfect for enjoying outdoors.
Blaauwklippen guests are warmly encouraged to choose something from The Farmhouse and enjoy it casually on the estate grounds. Whether seated under the trees, near the lawns, or close to the play areas, the experience is designed to be easy, informal, and unhurried, making it ideal for families and friends spending time together.
On weekends, the Blaauwklippen Family Market adds another charming layer to your visit and remains one of the most popular family activities Stellenbosch has to offer. Curated stalls showcase local food, coffee, sweet treats, and loads of handmade goods, against the backdrop of live music and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere.

Families can move easily between the market stalls, shaded seating areas, and open lawns without leaving the grounds, creating a flowing, laid-back experience that suits all ages.
For active families and groups, the Blaauwklippen Summer Evening Run offers a unique way to experience scenic vineyard routes framed by mountain views and the historic estate buildings.
