Top Restaurants in South Africa

I went for an exquisite long languid lunch on a hill on a 5 Star Estate with 180-degree views. Bellavista Country Estate is situated between Stanford and Gansbaai. Read my restaurant review of Panorama Restaurant here and salivate over the photos if you like.

The stars in my glass ~ Genevieve MCC

As a little girl, Melissa Nelsen wanted to become a pilot. Fortunately for champagne lovers, many visits to France and specifically Paris shifted her attention and desire to rather bring the skies to us. Genevieve is the patron saint of Paris and was believed to have protected the beautiful city from Attila the Hun. Melissa’s Genevieve Methode Cap Classiques is a magnificent zero dosage (no sugars added) Champagne.

Pinot Noir Festival

The cool-climate Hemel-en-Aarde is world renowned for Pinot  Noir of great purity and finesse and every year the producers join forces to celbrate their passion for this highly revered cultivar. This year exciting vineyard safaris, delectable celebrity chef cuisine and a social athmosphere will be the order of the day. Join in the festivities, hang out with the winemakers and embark on an adventure that will set your senses soaring. www.pinotnoircelebration.co.za


The Hemel & Aarde Valley must exude Super-Oxygen as ‘Ex Africa Semper Aliquid Novi’ (Out of Africa always something new) seems to be their permanent motto!

See what is happening at two of the award-winning wine estates of Creationwines and Sumaridge.


Get off your chronic medication and its side-effects

Sugar causes more illnesses and deaths than any other ‘acceptable’ food supplements. Read more about hidden sugars in many unsuspected foods and why it is on the same addiction level as nicotine, cocaine and alcahol.
