Lover of fine-dining and perfectly pairing your favourite meal with a glass of South Africa’s best vintages? Introducing the Chef’s Table Food and Wine Pairing evenings at the Island Café in Knysna.
Every first three Thursdays of the month, the in-house restaurant at Turbine Hotel & Spa hosts a Chef’s Table Food & Wine Pairing. Enjoy a decadent 3-course menu paired with our recommended in-house wines for just R295 per person. As a regular, you’ll never have the same dish twice, with the menu changing every week and the wines being switched up accordingly.
And then on the last Thursday of every month the restaurant hosts its Wine and Food Pairing Dinners at 18h30, in partnership with a selection of award-winning wine estates and breweries in the Western Cape. Sometimes the wine estates are swapped out with local breweries or gin distilleries, but there is always live music.
Here’s the line-up for the next few months:
Thursday 16 June – A journey through the Winelands with Jane Simon | Pianist Baden Hall
Thursday 07 July – Alvi’s Drift Winery | Saxophonist Jaco Kriek
Thursday 25 August – Meerhof Wines | Violinist Minx

Thursday 27 October – Jakkalsvlei Wines
