What are the best glasses for wine farms, restaurants and venues with outdoor areas?
By Kirsty Cook, Govino SA · Updated · 2 min read
Short answer: For lawns, pool decks, play areas and picnic sites, the best choice is commercial-grade shatterproof Tritan™ glassware. It ends breakage clean-ups and replacement costs, survives commercial dishwashers, keeps wine looking premium and can carry your logo. Govino supplies South African wine farms, restaurants, hotels and event venues at trade pricing through our wholesale and events team.
Where shatterproof makes sense in a venue
- Picnic lawns and vineyard tastings
- Pool bars, rooftop decks and beach clubs
- Family areas and kids' play zones
- Weddings and functions on grass
- Room service, game drives and boat trips
