Combine the best of Cuisine with your love of the Garden Route
Arrive Cape Town You will be met at the airport and taken to your hotel The afternoon is free to explore – we suggest you pay a visit to the V&A Waterfront, South Africa’s most visited attraction. DAY 2:
Lions Head Discover why Cape Town is the `Mother City. Any visit to Cape Town should begin with the mother – Table Mountain. In order to fully appreciate the mountain and the mythology around it, the day begins at the foot of Lions Head, the peak between Table Mountain and Signal Hill, along the Table Mountain National Park. Table Mountain Ascend Table Mountainby cable car. (Cableway fare and local delicacies included in package. Any additional drinks or snacks excluded) On the top of Table Mountain, you can see the whole city. The guide uses this elevated position to map out the city past present and future. The guide also maps out the next two days of activities. Lunch - Cape Town Tasting Room This is an expansive afternoon of food and wine. there is such a diversity of foods in Cape Town. At first lunch session, we will introduce you to these foods with a special 'chef guided' tasting lesson. The tasting will be enjoyed along with wines of the region. This is a food history session, discovering the city's history through her food and wine. After tasting and drinking, there will be time to just relax and enjoy the venue. (all costs of this element included in package, including wine at lunch) City Tour Through Culinary Lens This specialised tour of the inner-city puts a culinary lens on the city, looking at the development of the city from a food point of view. If snoek is the most eaten fish in the city, why can't we find it in any restaurants? If fatcakes (amagwinya) are eaten all over the city, why can't we find them in the city either? To understand contemporary Cape Town as an african city, we also need to go behind the scenes, almost underground, to explore the rich food culture that exists behind the neneer of the city! This provides fascinating insight into the city about ownership, narrative and who writes history. (all entrance fees included) Dinner + Private African Music Concert This event is a perfect welcome to Cape Town. Paradise Grey is Alan Grant's oasis of magic on the slopes of Table Mountain. It is a Cape Dutch heritage home with an award-winning five level garden staggered up the hill. Chef Jason has an acute skill for flavour, and his contemporary innovations on traditional Cape foods are legendary among creative eccentrics in the city who are regulars at the chef's table. Paradise Grey is a gathering point for many of the city's creative people. We host a dinner party with a private African music concert, and have invited – in your honour - some of our artist friends to join. You will be surrounded by creative people, enjoy a four course dinner in the magical garden. Paradise Grey has an exquisite wine list to order from, and also offers local beers. (all food, fruit juice and entertainment included. All alcoholic drinks, sodas and mineral waters excluded. Also included is the cost of hosting artistic guests) Return to hotel DAY 3:
