Today sees the launch of the 2013 Sanlam Investments FoodWineDesign Fair on the rooftop of Hyde Park Corner. From 8 – 10 November, the Fair brings the opportunity to mix with close to 100 talented exhibitors in the food, wine and design industries who cook, harvest and create artisanal works of wonder for a living.
This year, the Fair is expanding its offering and return visitors can look forward to a myriad of new exhibitors. Amongst these, a selection of curated traditional crafts and high-quality produce from the spectacular Route 62 region. Picture ports, woven blankets from the Barrydale Hand Weavers, Magpie Collective’s recycled chandeliers and award winning wines.
The Atelier section will showcase beautifully crafted local textiles and leather produce so be sure to keep a look out for Colony Design and Missibaba’s leather goods and prints produced by Skinny laMinx.
Apart from existing popular exhibitors such as Richard Bosman and Yswara tea, new exhibitors on the block include Italy’s pesto champion, Roberto Panizza, famed for his DOP Genovese basil pesto, as well as Tutto Food Co.’s gourmet Jozambique concept.
If fashion is your vice then be sure not to miss Artlogic’s Italian hat stand, which features iconic headwear by Inverni and Borsalino. Jewellery lovers should keep a look out for Pichulik, Olive Green Cat and Dear Rae whilst wine aficionados can enjoy the best from the Cape Winelands with Spier, Meerlust and Hermanuspietersfontein as well as new-comer Marvelous Wines.
Tickets cost R80 (kids under 12 enter free) and are available at the door at Hyde Park Corner and online at www.webtickets.co.za. What’s more, visitors who cycle to the Fair will receive 50% discount on the entry price.
