“As if providing access to some of the country’s finest accommodation offerings and most memorable gourmet experiences via our interactive website and effortless online booking system is not enough, Food Routes goes the extra mile this season by offering its ‘visitors’ added winter-inspired adventures to perk up the palate and mood during their winter travels,” shares Riaan Kruger, co-founder of Food Routes.
The bespoke winter pleasures – which are on offer at some of Food Routes’ most prominent destinations –range from soup and sherry stops during game drives and a winter indulgence up the West Coast; to an art drive in the Mother City and a private cooking class in the beautiful Cape countryside. Destinations are luxurious by definition, and are vetted strictly before being invited to feature on the Food Routes site.
