KNYSNA NEWS - If you aren’t already planning to be at the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival from 29 June to 8 July, here are a few "tasters" to entice you to join us for “the best 10 days of winter”.
Flavourful foodie fun
Among the more than 100 activities arranged over the 10-day period, a first this year is the Flavours of Knysna Tour, a culinary journey to some of the best restaurants in and around Knysna.
Taking place on Wednesday 4 July, you’ll plan your own route using our hop-on-hop-off shuttles to visit some of the best eateries in the area and experience delicious tasters and signature dishes.
An exciting competition will also run on the night, when you can cast your vote for your favourite restaurants in various categories.
Make sure you don’t miss this – space is limited. Buy tickets online via Webtickets or at the Knysna and George Pick n Pay Money Counter.
Old favourites, new venues
The Knysna Wine Festival may be an institution, but this year’s location on Thesen Island will be a first. Experience the best of South Africa’s wine farms on 2 and 3 July. Tickets cost R150 and include a tasting glass, available at Webtickets. Loerie Park will this year play host to various kiddies’ entertainment options and sporting events such as the Athletics SWD, rugby, soccer and netball tournaments.

Sport
In an exciting development this year, the Momentum Knysna Cycle Tour has confirmed that the 115km road race, along with the 80km and 50km mountain bike races, will be seeding qualifying events for the 2019 Cape Town Cycle Tour. An e-bike event was introduced last year and will again be on offer, in the form of the 30km Electric Bike MTB race. The Momentum Big5 Challenge and Big5 Lite multisport events cater for the seriously adventurous.
