What better time to crack open a few bottles of perfectly chilled rosé, spend some time with friends and family and let the worries from the year disappear, as the holiday season kicks off with perfect summer evenings here in Jozi. Rosé is proving to be a popular choice with consumers as the temperature’s soar – and it’s the perfect accompaniment to just about everything – beach, park, braai, lunch, sundowners… you get the idea!

Beneath the top is a bouquet of crushed summer berries, black and red cherries, supported by subtle spicy tones to introduce expressive juicy berry flavours that…

Luxury is not just a price tag. It’s about beauty, experiences and moments that you’ll hold onto forever… and at LUX* Belle Mare and LUX* Grand Gaube in Mauritius, you’ll do just that, and more.

We were escorted to our beach-view junior suite upon arrival, and were blown…

The memory of taking a bite out of mom’s delicious peanut butter and jam sandwich or sneaking a teaspoon of peanut butter right out of the jar (we all do it, don’t we?) peanut butter is a taste that is so filled with childhood nostalgia and evokes the indulgent memories of delicious snack moments. It is this kind of reminiscing that inspired the Sally Williams team to their newest and most indulgent flavour yet; peanut butter. While making herself a piece of toast topped with peanut butter and syrup the Sally William’s concept chef, experienced this very sense of deja vu she bit into her lunchtime treat and was immediately transported…
