As you know I am a huge fan of The Palazzo Hotel and I love all the different offerings that this world-class hotel offers. I recently was lucky enough to attend a superb wine and dinner pairing event hosted at the hotel and presented by Tsogo Sun’s group sommelier, Miguel Chan, and the hotels executive chef, Gareth Jordaan.

What’s even more exciting is that the team at The Palazzo are going to be hosting one of these evenings a month going forward, and I for one am delighted – hey, you know I love good food and great wine.

Your date to diarise (and book in advance may I highly recommend) is set for Thursday 30th May and the evening will share a selection of fine wines from Warwick Wine Estate which will be paired with a delicious five-course dinner, and Warwick Cellarmaster JD Pretorius will join Miguel Chan in the presentation.

The dinner will end with three exclusive Grand Cru coffees – Lungo from Guatemala, Espresso from Brazil and Ristretto from India.

Says Andrew Hosking, Tsogo Sun Hotels Operations Director, Gauteng Northern Central region, says the wine evenings bring together “the perfect combination of elements for which Tsogo Sun is renowned – excellent wines, world-class cuisine, and in-depth knowledge and understanding of both – for a very special evening for wine lovers, in the exquisite setting of The Palazzo’s Rosa.”

Award-winning Miguel celebrates 10 years with Tsogo Sun in July this year, where he has ensured the exceptionally high wine standards for Tsogo Sun hotels, working with food & beverage teams to create a unique and appealing dining experience, and developing a team of wine stewards to become future sommeliers.

The Palazzo Warwick Wine Estate evening on 30 May is priced at R625 per person. To book, call 011-510 3000 and ask for Danielle Peters or email palazzo.dining@tsogosun.com
