No Comments

Our favourite spots to get some really good food, exquisite drinks and enjoy the cream of the epicurean crop in Jozi… Est Est Alea Est Est Alea is a new tasting restaurant in Parktown North Johannesburg created by the acclaimed Chef Dario De Angeli, of Cube Tasting Kitchen fame. Est Est Alea was born out of the idea of constant evolution in a fine dining experience. Dario is a perfectionist by nature and someone who wants to push boundaries when it comes to dining.

Tau Game Lodge – a walk on the wild side…

No Comments

The city is busy. It hums and pulsates with an urgency that drives all Joburgers. We work hard, we stay up late, and we do whatever it takes to get to the end goal. But let’s be honest, everyone needs some peace and quiet, a bit of rest and an escape on occasion. A chance to switch off and recharge the batteries – yours and your phones! We recently took a trip out to the picturesque Tau Game Lodge, located on the border of Botswana and within the well-known Madikwe Game Reserve. Roughly a 4-hour drive from Johannesburg (barring any roadworks or slow trucks ahead of you) this is the ideal long weekend or even week-long stay spot, that caters perfectly for those thirsty for bush sunsets, chilled vibes, big game and minimal cell phone signal. There are no less than 27 major species of game that roam around the…

What better way to experience great wine than with ‘The Mentors’

No Comments

We love good wine, and sharing good wine with friends and family, but an experience with the aptly named KWV collection titled ‘The Mentors’ is one that you will certainly not forget. Studying anything from a Mentor is always a great idea, and when it comes to wine drinking, we support this theory 100%! The winemaking team at KWV, under the guidance of wine maker Izele van Blerk realised that the boundary-breaking approach in The Mentors cellar was leading to remarkable terroir-driven wines that deserved their own spot light from the other KWV offerings. The first wines were bottled in 2006, but it was in 2009 that The Mentors range prepared it’s wings for flight. Although they now produce a staple portfolio of eight wines, the winemaking team have the enviable freedom of pursuing innovative new varietals and blends from every harvest – taking their cue from the vineyards.

Mayine is managed by a husband and wife team from Khayelitsha in the Western Cape – Luvuyo and Nodumo Jongile – who have had an inspiring and exciting series of events, and have just taken home a R 100 000 bursary to help grow their business, culminating in a trip to London’s Juniperlooza Festival next year on World Gin Day. “The SA Gin Business Bursary is the first of its kind, not just in South Africa, but in Africa, from what we know. And it will be the first of many, as we plan to support one up-and-coming artisan within the gin industry every year within this program,” explains the idea originator and donor, Jean Buckham, owner of SA’s Premier Craft Gin Club,…
