La Colombe

A fine dining experience like no other.

The Livingroom at Summerhill Estate

Nestled away in Cowies hill KZN is the most hidden gem Durban has to offer.  Owned and run by the descendants of German born Christine Richter who first established it in 1997, this unassuming establishment offers fine dining which "showcases Durban’s culinary diversity at an Internationally recognised level". I had the pleasure of enjoying their …

La Petite Ferme – Spring Menu

Recently I was lucky enough to be invited to taste the new Spring menu at La Petite Ferme in Franschhoek.  The venue consists of a luxury boutique hotel as well as the restaurant which I'd heard of before and had always wanted to go to! The restaurant offers a truly unique culinary experience.  Each dish …

The Gardens Collectors Club

I was recently invited to go and experience the newly renovated Gardens Collectors Club, previously known as Chalk and Cork, located on Kloof Street in Cape Town.  I had heard great things about Chalk and Cork for a while and had been meaning to go and try it out when one of their incredible chefs …

Who’s at the door? FindWine!

You know that feeling.  Friday is finally here and all you want to do after the long week of deadlines and sitting behind your desk all day is to go straight home, take your bra off, get into your comfy clothes and pour yourself a glass of your favourite wine.  The LAST thing you want …

Boesmanskloof Hike

Firstly let me start by saying that I do not like camping.  I would honestly rather do absolutely ANYTHING else besides camping.  Unless its glamping of course! A few friends had been chatting about doing a weekend away to Hermanus with the intention of hiking up to a "hut" in the mountains on the Saturday, …

Jordan Wine Estate

On Saturday I had the amazing experience of visiting Jordan Wine Estate for the very first time!  I have tasted their wine before at restaurants and have even bought bottles from the shops to enjoy at home but I had never actually been to the estate.  With it only being an hours drive from Cape Town, I …

The Farmers Table Media Launch

On May 22nd I was lucky enough to be invited to the media launch of an incredible company called The Farmers Table.  This company is one of the only in South Africa to see the gap in the market for selling locally produced, organic farm produce that's accessible from your couch at home!  The website is …
