Backed by the natural amphitheater of the majestic eastern cliffs of Table Mountain, musicians perform under clear skies as a golden sun plays on the forest canopy before dipping over the blue peak. The atmosphere is appropriately elysian. Capetonians, known for savoring a slow pace of life, feast on picnics of prawn salad and cold Karoo lamb, washed down with that year's sauvignon blanc from Constantia's famous vineyards...
