As the chill of winter begins to loosen its grip and the first hints of spring creep in, there’s something extra special about those final cosy picnics. Wrapped in blankets, soaking up the softer sun, and enjoying hearty snacks, it’s the perfect way to savour the season before the braai-and-plakkies days return.


And what better to pack along than BC Wines Grape Juice? Crisp, refreshing, and alcohol-free, it’s a versatile companion for snacks that warm the heart while still reminding us of the fresh, lighter days just around the corner.


Biltong & Cheese Roosterkoek

Few things say 'comfort' like warm, cheesy roosterkoek stuffed with slices of savoury biltong. The richness and saltiness pair beautifully with the juice’s lively freshness, making it the perfect balance of hearty and uplifting.


Roast Veggie Hand Pies

Golden pastry filled with roasted winter veggies is the kind of snack that keeps the cold at bay. But paired with crisp white grape juice, the earthy sweetness of the butternut and sweet potato feels lighter, like a gentle nudge towards the new season.


Brie & Apple Slices

This simple combo is a little taste of spring in itself. The creamy brie and crisp apples echo the fruity freshness of the juice, adding brightness to your picnic basket as the seasons shift.


Spiced Nuts

Winter spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and chilli bring the warmth, while the grape juice adds a refreshing lift that keeps the flavours from becoming too heavy. It’s the perfect snack to bridge seasons.


A Toast to the Changing Season

The beauty of BC Wines Grape Juice is its balance. It complements hearty winter foods while hinting at the fresh, sunny days ahead. So as winter fades and spring arrives, it’s the perfect sip to see you through the changing season. Refreshing, versatile, and always picnic ready.
