The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa has invited six of South Africa’s top wineries to join its renowned Food & Wine Pairing dinners this winter. Taking place in Azure Restaurant on the last Friday of every month, these evenings are co-hosted by the winemakers and promise to be gourmet heaven for food and wine connoisseurs. Twelve Apostles Executive Chef Christo Pretorius - one of the rising stars of Cape Town’s culinary scene, will create a special four-course dinner for each event, perfectly paired with the finest vintages of each wine farm. Pretorius is quickly gaining a reputation for his innovative contemporary South African dishes, which secured Azure a spot on the prestigious American Express Platinum Fine Dining Awards for the last two years running. Diners may look forward to indulgent evenings in a warm, welcoming fireside setting, complete with outstanding service, and food and wine combinations that are sure to delight the palate.
