Get ready to raise your glasses and tickle your taste buds because the much-anticipated Food and Wine in the Wild Festival is back at Kruger Station for another unforgettable year.
Save the dates of 5 & 6 July 2024 as we prepare to ignite your senses with a celebration of South Africa’s finest wines, delectable cuisine and the mesmerising beauty of the wild.
This isn’t just any festival; it’s an annual tradition that brings together food and wine enthusiasts from near and far to indulge in a weekend of culinary bliss, from 15h00 to 18h30 daily.
Sample wines from the most prestigious vineyards across South Africa. From the rolling hills of Stellenbosch to the sun-kissed valleys of the Cape Winelands, each sip tells a story of passion, dedication and the unique terroir that defines the region’s winemaking heritage. And with a complimentary branded glass included with your ticket, you’ll have the perfect vessel to savour every moment of the tasting journey.
But the real magic happens when wine meets food, and at the Food and Wine in the Wild Festival, culinary delights take centre stage. Prepare to be dazzled by an array of ‘small plates’ showcasing the vibrant flavours of traditional and local cuisine. From spicy peri-peri chicken to melt-in-your-mouth bobotie, each bite is a testament to the rich tapestry of South Africa’s culinary landscape. And with your ticket, your first plate is on us: a tasty treat valued at R55 which sets the stage for a foodie adventure like no other.
As you wander through the festival, be sure to stop by our partner Eagle Dough Buddies, and indulge in the irresistible aroma of artisanal bread and baked goods. From crusty sourdough to decadent pastries, each bite is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of these talented artisans.
And for those seeking an extra-special experience, don’t miss our exclusive hosted dinner and wine pairing in the historic Carriage 7 on the Friday. Step back in time as you dine amid the vintage elegance of this iconic setting, savouring a gourmet feast expertly paired with exceptional wines – a true highlight of the weekend’s festivities.
