South African Wines meet Moroccan-Spanish Cuisine

 

Join us for an extraordinary evening where South African wines meet North African cuisine in a fusion of flavour and culture.

Savor the distinctive qualities of South African Chenin Blanc, Cabs Sav, and Syrah, handpicked from the prestigious Western Cape region, as we explore their rich, diverse profiles. Our culinary journey continues with a Moroccan-Spanish cuisine experience, thoughtfully paired to complement the wines, all set against the stunning waterside backdrop of Azul’s at Ferguson’s Marina near the Spit Bridge.

This is more than just a wine and food event—it’s a celebration of Africa’s far-reaching flavors. We invite you to indulge in this unforgettable evening, designed to delight your taste buds, spark your curiosity, and elevate your dining experience beyond the ordinary.

Join us for a night of discovery, connection, and culinary bliss. We can’t wait to share this exceptional journey with you.
