Gauteng’s glitzy Winelands affair now even
more exclusive
Wednesday, 30 October 2013
On 30 October, Gauteng socialites will be able to indulge
in the very best the Stellenbosch Winelands has to offer when Sanlam Private
Investments (SPI) hosts the fourth Stellenbosch at Summer Place event
– an unsurpassed pairing of wines, food, art, music and fashion from the
country’s premier wine destination.
Intimate, engaging and slick, this year the country’s pioneering
wine route is raising the bar with a more fine-tuned and focused
grapes-gourmet-and-gallery affair, by flawlessly pairing the finer things in
life in one holistic extravaganza.
“Our focus this year is on creating an unbelievable sensory
journey to surprise and delight our guests. Stellenbosch’s best wines, finest
chefs, freshest music, rarest art and edgiest catwalk fashion will be uniquely
and cleverly paired to provide a carefully curated taste of
the Stellenbosch lifestyle – using all the senses!” shares Annareth Bolton, CEO
of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes.
Only the very top winemakers and chefs from South Africa’s
premier wine region will travel to Jozi for the event. The carefully selected
wines on offer were chosen through a strenuous selection process and abide by
the wine route’s high quality standards. In keeping with the event’s pairing
theme, each wine will be teamed with a signature dish in a unique ambience. And
each will be delivered in a unique ‘attraction’ to complete the experience -
from music to an intimate fashion show or even a private one-on-one session
with a leading art expert.
This year’s chef line-up includes five of the finest maestros
from the Stellenbosch Winelands, all set to pair their gourmet creations with
the stellar wines for an unrivalled culinary lifestyle experience. They are
Michael Broughton of Terroir, Bertus Basson of Overture,
George Jardine of Jordan Restaurant; Christiaan Campbell of Delaire
Graff Estate, and Grégory Czarnecki of Waterkloof
Restaurant.
As well as stimulating the taste buds and offering a variety of
artistic flavours and textures to savour throughout the evening, Stellenbosch
at Summer Place 2013 will be a highly visual feast. Those looking to understand
the investment value of their wine or art collection will find benefit in
rubbing shoulders with wine and art gurus at the event.
