If you’re still looking for last-minute Easter weekend plans, the Cape Winelands has a variety of family-friendly events to enjoy. From classic egg hunts to creative outdoor experiences, there’s something for both kids and adults to appreciate.
A firm favourite for families, Spier’s Easter Eggventure Hunt turns the farm into an interactive playground. Children follow clues across the estate to unlock a surprise prize, while adults can take their time at wine tasting stations along the route. The timing works out perfectly with the final days of the Spier Light Art 2026 exhibition, which wraps up on April 6.
Easter Events in Winelands
Expect striking light and sound installations scattered across the farm, making this more than just an egg hunt. If you’re after something relaxed, a laid-back picnic at a local wine farm ticks all the boxes. Think food trucks, live music and kids running around the lawns with painted faces and chocolate in hand.
There’s even a chance to spot the Easter Bunny and win a prize by finding the golden egg. Bring your own blanket and settle in for an easy afternoon under the Winelands sky. This is a simple, no-fuss day out where parents can enjoy a tasting or a glass of wine with a sourdough pizza, while kids stay busy with egg hunts and activities.
Traditional Easter Charm
For something a little more traditional, Middelvlei offers a farm-style Easter morning with hearty food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Expect a relaxed brunch, Easter egg hunts for the kids and a few nostalgic touches like hot cross bun jaffles. Set in the Bottelary Hills, it’s an easy escape if you want a slower pace.
At Blaauwklippen, the egg hunt comes with a twist. Children follow a map across the estate, uncovering bits of its history along the way. While the kids are on their adventure, adults can browse the family market or enjoy a meal and wine tasting on site. This is not your typical egg hunt.
Boschendal’s Artventure mixes creativity with play, offering guided experiences that include obstacle courses, themed games and a take-home seed “egg” to plant. It’s designed for younger children and adds a slightly imaginative spin to the usual Easter activities.
