I am going to be real honest here. Steenberg would never be my choice of wine establishment to just “hang”. It just looks so how can I say… rah-rah? I have this weird idea that when you visit Steenberg you need get all dolled up… like the nines, you know.. dressing up like you do for the Durban July or […]
We all know and love the Franschhoek Wine Valley. When we do visit, we can’t help pretending for a moment or two of being in France. Gorgeous old wine estates with their original French names, luscious rolling vineyards, over shadowed by ancient oak trees. And this my friends.. is just the tip of the iceberg on what you can feel […]
Hello my wine loving darlings, it feels like it has been ages since I last chatted to you and shared a memorable experience. Long story short, I have been struggling with my carpel tunnel and things went a skew – 4 months later still struggling with my right hand – which by the way… is my dominant hand. Anyway… that […]
Have you ever been to @ Four Cousins Restaurant? Don’t worry if your answer is no, because neither had I, well… that was until a few weeks ago. You know what my boozy loving friends? During lockdown, I came to the realisation that I had kinda lost my original focus point of my blog. One of the main reasons or […]

I have just the perfect place for you! One that is modern, but cozy, luxurious, peaceful, and completely surrounded by vineyards, then you HAVE to make your way down […]
“How do you discover what you always known?” When reading this statement, it really strikes a chord with me. You see darling boozy friends, I stayed for 15 years in the iconic Stellenbosch. For those 15 years, I had NEVER once, ever visited Blaauwklippen. Don’t ask me why, because I have no excuse. There is none! It is not like […]
Normally, I don’t like to use the word hidden gem, over the last two years every Tom, Dick and Harry has become a hidden gem. This takes away the true meaning of the phrase. Having said that, Louisvale is literally hidden – tucked away in vineyards. If you don’t know better, you would just simply drive by! Instead of calling […]
A few weeks back I was very privileged to be invited to the launch of Kunjani’s new wine label. For sometime now, I have been itching to make a visit to Kunjani. In just a few moments you will see why. This is THEE place to go, if you want to have a gastronomical experience! What an experience it was, […]
On the 14th of November, I had the wonderful honour of being invited to Ridgeback – for the launch of their new bubbly called Mischief! I know…. I know… it is a couple of months later but time flies by so fast, and obviously Eskom was not helping! Still no excuse…! I am currently working through my to do list […]
If you are looking for a day out, with a touch of excitement, then visiting SALT @ Paul Cluveris your ultimate food and wine excuse. Firstly, the scenic drive from Worcester to Elgin is absolutely spectacular. It is as if you are in a different world. Majestic mountains sweeping over a magical valley, bursting with luscious and fertile vineyards, apple […]
