Backsberg Centenary Picnic Concerts

Brace yourself for another summer sunset picnic concert series that you simply don’t want to miss

If there is one thing we just can’t get enough of it is picnic concerts. How fortunate then that the beautiful Backsberg wine estate is hosting a series of these sensational soirees, starting mid-February!

On the five Sundays between 14 February and 13 March 2016 you will get to enjoy the music of some of the finest South African artists, surrounded by stunning vineyards and the majestic Simonsberg in the distance.

Look forward to performances by The Plastics, Gerald Clark and The Dead
Men, and the Blues Broers, among other greats. All these musos have one thing in common, the ability to create unique music, guaranteed to make your night unforgettable.

 The first in the series of events takes place on Sunday, 14 February 2016. Yes, Valentine’s Day! So if you don’t know where to take your sweetheart, this is the perfect opportunity for something super romantic. Imagine a comfy blanket, sipping wine and indulging in mouth-watering treats and watching the sun set as you’re carried away by magical melodies. While picnic baskets are welcome, a delectable variety of eats will be on sale at the venue. Please note that no alcohol is allowed onto the premises.

But it really doesn’t matter which date you’re going, or if it’s going to be with your loved one, your family or your best buds – your evening will be memorable for sure!
