with a bottle of French rosé from Fleurs de Prairie Côtes de Provence today. 🇫🇷

Isn't it pretty?
The bottle was designed with the generosity of the region in mind to showcase an extraordinary rosé. It is a tall bottle. The gently curved and generous glass is etched with wild flowers and the minimalist label stands out, reflecting the full elegance of this cuvée.

Did you know?
Fleurs de Prairie translates to "wildflowers" and celebrates the wildness of the landscape, reigned over by beautiful wisterias and the fields of lavender, poppies and sunflowers that carpet Provence. 🌼🌹🌷

What you can expect?
Rich and rounded, surprising in the mouth, balanced by the freshness of this cuvée. White-fleshed fruits play elegantly with hints of berries and citrus and the finish extends into full and vibrant notes of pink grapefruit.

Located in the North West Province of South Africa, nestled on the slopes of the Magaliesberg mountain range and the banks of the Hartbeespoort Dam, Harties is a popular resort town.

Why visit?
It sits close to both Johannesburg and Pretoria, and serves as a major weekend getaway for water sports, boating, and hiking, but we quite like the Aerial Cableway Hartbeespoort and local boat cruises (with wine).

What are your favourite activities at Harties?

📍Aerial Cableway Hartbeespoort,

After a short Sunday drive (and cable ride), we're kicking off our day at top of the Magaliesberg enjoying these panoramic views of the Magaliesberg, Hartbeespoort Dam and the surrounding area.

The drive to Harties is less than an hour and always so picturesque. Happy Sunday friends!

Our post-Park Run brekkie, courtesy of Jackson's in Riverside this morning!
This is 'The Famous':
Jackson's Toasted Sourdough topped with scrambled eggs, sliced avocado and bacon.

*For us, it's the sourdough that's really makes meals (like this) here special!!
The five day ferment means that the gluten and carbs are greatly reduced, making it an easy bread to digest that does not result in bloating. This sourdough is certified by the diabetic association, the heart foundation, and is both Halaal and Kosher.

Good Morning!

Of all the coastlines in England, Dorset’s Jurassic World Heritage Coast has to be my favourite, so today we're throwing it back to a trip to Kimmeridge Bay.

A stunning, fossil-rich rocky shore that is known for its extensive limestone ledges, world-class rock pooling, and marine conservation.

Because it is a wave-cut platform rather than a sandy beach, it is ideal for snorkeling, surfing (“K-Bay”), rock pooling, canoeing, wind surfing and water sports, if you can brave the cold water, which we could not.

Overlooking the beach is Clavell Tower, a Georgian folly, built on the cliff edge. In 1975, this was the inspiration for PD James’s murder story, the Black Tower.

🌹🌷Spring Day celebrations are in full swing, thanks to Hartenberg today! 🌼🌺
Their Sacred Soil 2023 marks the first South African red wine to carry the Land to Market seal.

The seal provides assurance that the grapes used to make the wine are sourced from vineyards scientifically verified as regenerative, marking an important milestone for both Hartenberg and South African wine.

The name Sacred Soil resonates deeply, reminding us that true greatness begins with the earth beneath our feet (just like our vibrant spring garden!).

And to inspire us further, Hartenberg has gifted us with a packet of their signature cover crop seed mix, so we can cultivate a piece of this remarkable story in our own backyard!

Stay tuned for what's to come...

The 5th Cederberg Shiraz Festival 2026 ~ A thing of beauty, bringing Shiraz & Spice together in celebration of one of Cederberg’s signature wines; an opportunity to gather around a wine that has become part of Cederburg's story.

We joined David Nieuwoudt, Mika Engelbrecht and the team for an intimate evening where every glass is perfectly paired, every flavour tells a story, and every moment is designed to celebrate the distinctive character of Shiraz.

What we got?
An evening where we explored the depth and complexity of Cederberg Shiraz, perfectly paired with a menu crafted to elevate every glass with Chef Darren O'Donovan.

Semi-Soet – The Musical heads to Joburg after a sell-out Pretoria season

South African music and theatre stars are set to shine in this enchanting Afrikaans rom-com musical at The Teatro.

Semi-Soet – The Musical
Venue: The Teatro, Montecasino
Dates: 4 – 27 September 2026

The ever popular Bobby van Jaarsveld – and his speedo - and Anel Alexander return as the beloved characters JP and Jaci.

The beloved musical, based on the popular romantic South African film Semi-Soet, captivated audiences at AfriForum Teater with humour, romance and well-known Afrikaans music. The production follows the beloved story of Jaci and JP – two people who pretend to be the perfect couple, only to discover that love sometimes waits in the most unexpected places. With humour, heart and a soundtrack full of well-known hits, Semi-Soet – The Musical has already established itself as one of the most popular new Afrikaans musicals.

Even before opening, additional weekend performances have needed to be added to the schedule to cope with the demand for tickets.

Tickets range from R250 – R520 with discounts for groups of 10 or more tickets available.
