The aroma of SUMMER
There’s something so wonderful and warming about the company of food and foodies on a journey of discovery. No matter whether you’re passionate about organic produce, long to watch the hottest chefs on the planet turn ingredients into edible heaven, or yearn to pop your cork at the wines and wherefores of the grapevine…you’ve come to the right place.
What’s different about THIS show? Easy. It’s entirely interactive. This is no Sit Down And Soak it Up show, it’s a Roll Up Your Sleeves and Get Involved relationship. You’re going to meet the makers of the products, grill the chefs on their secrets, and learn how to make any- and everything you’ve always wanted to…from pasta to cocktails to gourmet dinner party dishes.
The Summer Good Food & Wine Show is all about learning and loving food in its endless guises…and it’s where you get to watch, look, listen and laugh with celeb chefs from around the world. When you step into the Show, you have to know there are free live demonstrations by top local and international chefs in no less than nine interactive areas! From Chefs in Action – featuring Top Billing presenters Aiden Bennetts and Jeannie D with BBC celebrity chefs – to Traditional Tastes, to our brand-new al fresco stage for the latest in Outdoor Entertaining. And if you’d really like to get to grips with them, sign up (quickly) for our ever-popular range of interactive cooking sessions where you’ll be cooking alongside these mega-chefs!
It’s all about interactivity, about you and them connecting, talking, tasting. Like Top Restaurant Chefs Take 10 Ingredients, our top chefs with only ten ingredients each. We’ve created an Alchemy of Gold, Essence of Fine Brandy tasting theatre as well as an interactive Coffee Theatre, The Great Wine Sale and the Design A Bunny Chow Competition. You’re going to love The Spekko Rice Eastern Mosaic Pavilion, where east is best.
Eat, be entertained, learn, shop, sip and sample the good things in life. Your entrance ticket entitles you to a wonderful range of free food and wine samplings, as well as fantastic prizes, giveaways and special offers.
Get Fresh with BBC Lifestyle will see celebrity chefs use local seasonal produce in interactive cooking sessions while our top horticulturists will lead visitors through steps to planting their own kitchen gardens and cook cost effectively.
You’ve got to be there to experience it!
Feel free to stop, shop or pop into any number of extraordinary gourmet experiences – all unlike any you’ve seen before. Set your imagination free at the Gauteng Good Food & Wine Show. We’ll do the rest.
