Build Your Own Pizza: Little Hands, Big Smiles
One of the highlights for little hands and curious minds is the chance to build their own pizza. From choosing toppings to watching it head into the wood-fired oven, it’s a fun, interactive moment that transforms lunch into an activity – and often the highlight of the day!
Dekkersvlei’s Kiddies Playground
Just a few steps from the tasting area, Dekkersvlei’s dedicated kiddies play zone invites children to climb, swing and burn off some energy in a safe, open-air setting. Framed by vineyards and mountain views, it’s the kind of space where imaginations run free and laughter carries on the breeze.
Shaded seating nearby allows parents to keep a relaxed watchful eye, glass in hand, knowing the kids are close, happy and entertained.
Parents, We’ve Got You Covered Too
This is where Dekkersvlei truly shines for grown-ups. While the little ones are building pizzas or conquering the monkey bars, adults can take their time enjoying everything Dekkersvlei has to offer.
As the Cape Winelands’ most exciting new wine destination, Dekkersvlei invites you to slow down and savour the moment. Settle in for a guided wine tasting, including the world’s first White Pinotage – a pioneering expression that tells a unique South African story. Explore Dekkersvlei’s range of reds, discover our heritage-driven approach to winemaking, or linger over a brandy tasting that invites slow sipping and conversation.
Pair it all with gourmet wood-fired pizzas, relaxed lunches, or simply the pleasure of sitting back and soaking in the scenery. There’s no rush here, only the freedom to enjoy the moment, whether that’s another tasting, another slice, or another round of laughter from the playground.
With Dekkersvlei’s kiddies experiences, family outings feel effortless. Children play, adults indulge, and everyone leaves having shared something memorable – good food, good wine, and a day well spent together.
