Pair Pizza & Wine, Learn How To Draw and Get Drizzled

Plus find a bestseller or old favourite for just R2

Jislaaik people it’s cold …  but that doesn’t mean you need to stay indoors, not when all these awesome things are waiting for you to do in Cape Town’s bad weather.

The weekend has a toasty feeling to it with a cozy winter food and music festival, pizza and wine pairings and winter-themed craft beers to guzzle. There’s also a book sale in Durbanville where you can find treasure for R2 and a workshop where 50 bucks could turn you from a doodler to Picasso.

There’s more (there always is) and there’s a heads up for next week too (as usual).

#Pickoftheweek: Why Not Pizza?
Friday & Saturday Afternoon
The best pizza trucks in town are teaming up with top wine brands to form a partnership at the Cape Town Cricket Club in Plumstead. If you’re not bowled over by wine, there’ll be craft beer and gin too at the Wine Not Pizza Festival.


2. Craft Beer, Woodstock … You Know the Deal
Saturday Afternoon
Every year the best craft beer companies in the Cape gather in Woodstock to show off their stuff and have a party. This year they’re coming with their best winter brews ready to warm your belly (and soul) at the Woodstock Winter Festival..


3. Kickstart Your Fitness Goals
Friday and Saturday Morning
Whether you’re trying to get off the couch or just keen to try mountain-biking for the first time, this event has some ideal routes to get you on track. Do either a 22km or 54km bike ride, or a farm run at the Stellenbosch MTB Challenge.

6. Find Your Treasure for R2
Wednesday
Forget about first Thursdays, last Thursdays are treasure-hunting days at the Durbanville Children’s home when an array of books go on sale for next to nothing. Find a best seller, an old favourite or a new gem at the R2 Book Sale.

8. Catch A Play At A Much-Loved Newlands Hotel
