The Vineyard Hotel & Spa


The Vineyard Hotel & Spa are hosting their popular wine paired dinner evenings until October 2012.


The series of wine-paired events launched with the five-course Partners’ Dinner on 27 April.
The hotel’s five wine partners, Waterford, Meerlust, Simonsig, Warwick and Klein Constantia showcased their favourite wines on the evening, which were expertly paired to various culinary delights by the hotel’s experienced Sous Chef, Chris Law.


Roy Davies, General Manager of the Vineyard Hotel & Spa explains, “We will host two wine-paired dinner events each month, where winemakers from farms such as Paul Cluver and Iona Vineyards, Creation,  Muratie, Hartenberg, Oldenburg, Mooiplaas, Anthonij Rupert, The Cardinal, Migliarina and Haut Espoir will have the opportunity to present their wines. Constantia Valley Wines ends off the season in style with a spectacular dinner, showcasing up to nine wines.”

“To avoid disappointment, guests are encouraged to book well in advance for the dinners, as they are extremely popular with both local and resident guests,” says Davies. “Diners can enjoy live light entertainment throughout the evening, and lucky draws are held at each event to add to the experience. So whether you are looking for a romantic evening out, or a night spent with a group of friends – the experience is bound to be a memorable one.”


Each wine-paired dinner is either four- or five-course, depending on the wines served. “Ahead of each event we conduct a tasting where The Square’s sous chef, the winemaker, select members of the media as well as the hotels food and wine committee get together. It’s an opportunity to taste the wines and to debate, deliberate and explore a menu specifically paired to the wines in question,”
Davies explained. “The combination of the tasting session and then experiencing the end product – the actual dinner – is a fascinating journey, allowing us to ensure that the end-product is always of the absolute highest standard, something we believe our guests will experience with every paired event.”

The cost of the dinners is R265 pp for the four-course and R315 pp for the five-course. Davies and his team have also put together exclusive stay-over packages that include the dinner for guests attending the events. For the five-course dinner, a single room is  R950, while a double room is R800 per person sharing. For the four-course paired dinner, a single room is R900 and a double room is R750 per person sharing.

46664 Fashion Winter 2012 Collection

 

46664 – four, double six, six four - was the prison number given to Nelson Mandela when he was imprisoned for life in 1964.

 

Launched in August 2011, 46664 Fashion includes a range of T-shirts that make arresting visual statements around Mr Nelson Mandela’s humanitarian legacy. The Statement T’s draw iconic inspiration from intimate access by the brand’s design team to archive material housed in the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory. The Statement T’s in the 2012 Winter 46664 Fashion range, currently in store, include one with a stunning repeated graphic image of Madiba in a boxing stance, symbolising the spirit of perseverance that is so intrinsic to South Africa’s people.


These Tee's also echoes the core inspiration of the 2012 Winter range - Mandela’s passion for boxing – as does “Freedom Gym”, a powerful Statement T that speaks to the need for individuals to remain active in the fight against injustices. The rest of the range includes superb graphic renditions of key aspects of Mr Mandela’s humanitarian legacy including “Dignity”, “Democracy”, ‘Mentor” and many others. One of the standouts is “46664 It’s In Our Hands: Consciousness on Cloth” – the T’s graphic based around the struggle posters that were so prevalent during the fight against apartheid that so many South Africans and others took part in.

The latest range from the social impact brand is complemented by a number of eye-catching and thought-provoking statement Ts by design team member, Craig Native. These wearable T's help express the values that are key to Madiba’s humanitarian legacy  founded by the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2002 using his Robben Island prisoner number, 466/64.


The 2012 Winter range with men, women and children’s clothing and apparel delivers nothing short of a knockout fashion punch. The collection sees the core 46664 Fashion design team of Chris Vogelpoel and Barbara Tosalli, deliver a spirited range that’s high on colour and energy and also carries plenty of the brand’s now signature details that talk to both 46664 Fashion’s African roots and the ongoing humanitarian work of 46664.


 “Winter 2012 is hinged around our bold and colourful shirts which feature contrast styling details,” explains Vogelpoel. “We have also extended our golfers into more colour blocking and featuring new details to discover.” A bold addition to 46664 Fashion’s Winter 2012 range are snappy, zipper track tops and fleece hoodies – both featuring strong colour and eclectic detail. Custom fitted Chinos in stone, navy and tobacco as well as denim jeans with coloured studs and rivets and shweshwe pocketing and waistband lining complement the range offering.
 

A striking feature of the menswear range is 46664 Fashion’s knitwear including bold striped cardigans, comfort fit cardigans in purple and orange and a cable button through with full contrast placket. 46664 Fashion’s Womenswear 2012 range is built around rich, soulful tones and textures – an inspirational mix of gold, strawberry, chartreuse, tangerine, cerise, grape and apple green resulting in a spirited colour palette that’s ideal for day or evening wear. “We also have African-inspired prints and vivid patterns that are softened by sultry lines and flowing fabrics,” says Tosalli.


About 46664

46664 itself has grown into a multi-faceted global campaign. It's mission is to encompass all areas of Mr Mandela's humanitarian legacy (in SA, Africa, and the world) - including supporting projects like Nelson Mandela International Day - calling on individuals worldwide to give 67 minutes of their time to take action that inspires change.

Created as a partnership between Seardel/Brand ID and 46664, as part of a concerted move towards building its sustainability/self-sufficiency. Overseen by the 46664 Board it ensures that a percentage of 46664 Fashion's turnover is given to 46664 to further the humanitarian legacy of its founder, Mr Nelson Mandela. The board identifies projects that will benefit from funds raised and other commercial endeavours undertaken by 46664 and will not accrue to any individual.

Map Paradise And Earn R100 000 Exploring A Tropical Island

 

TomTom is searching for explorers to map five tropical paradise islands

 

 A once-in-a life-time opportunity for 5 families or groups of friends to spend 2 weeks on a tropical island and earn R100 000. The Map Paradise Project will help create five new navigable maps for: 


Fiji, St. Lucia, Mauritius, Cape Verde, and the Seychelles.


To apply simply fill in this form telling TomTom why you are the perfect group to map paradise. At least one from the group must be able to drive. Successful applicants can take up to four family members or friends with them to help map a paradise island. In total, 5 groups will be sent on all-expenses-paid mapping assignments and each group will earn R100 000. No mapping experience is needed, but TomTom is looking for people who enjoy exploring beautiful places, don't mind great weather and who have a decent sense of direction.


Those selected for the Map Paradise Project will simply need to drive around the island in a specially equipped mapping car. This is the very first step in TomTom's map making process. This mapping field work will take anything from a day to two weeks depending on how much time is spent sunbathing, swimming or exploring.

“The very first step in creating an accurate map is proper field work, and that is where the Map Paradise Project comes in,” said Daan Henderickx, Country Manager for TomTom South Africa. “This project will not only create five new navigable maps, it will also give people a unique insight into how our maps are made. And where better to start mapping, than on a beautiful paradise island.”

Belvedere Vodka A Pure Original


The must-have vodka for those who like to indulge in the finer things. An edgy luxury Vodka known to associate internationally with top music artists; like holding an exclusive launch event to introduce Lady Gaga's new album at the famous Annabel's in London or sponsoring Usher’s private dinner in South Africa in March 2012. Belvedere also likes to associate with high-end fashion events and cutting edge art.

Meet Allison Dedianko - Belvedere Vodka Global Ambassador



Representing the pinnacle of the Polish vodka-making tradition, Belvedere is distilled exclusively from the finest 100% Dankowskie Gold Rye and quadruple distilled to create the perfect balance of character and purity it is the true expression of luxury vodka. Completely additive-free and diluted with water from Belvedere’s own artesian well, this is a vodka which combines over 600 years of vodka producing expertise with an uncompromising commitment to quality and heritage. Belvedere has one of the best finishes in the vodka market.


Belvedere means "beautiful to see". The beautifully designed bottle showcases the Belvedere Palace, former home to Polish royalty and dignitaries. The magnifying effect of the Palace along with snow trees surrounding it is an iconic masterpiece. The bottling process is a slow one with many quality control checks – the spirit is almost bottled by hand. All strip and hang tags are applied by hand as well as each bottle being individually checked by hand for any imperfections. Eleven people are employed on the bottling line, and the throughput is 8000 bottles per shift which is quite an amazing output.

BELVEDERE VODKA: The World’s First Super Premium Vodka


Meticulously handcrafted in small batches to ensure superior quality, Belvedere vodka must go through more than 30 quality control checks before it can be released. Their strong commitment to quality and heritage was rewarded with eight Vodka Masters prizes in 2009, twice as many as any of the other 120+ vodkas in competition.

Today, Belvedere Vodka offers a luxury experience to a broad international audience of vodka enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Its exquisite taste makes it one of the most widely purchased brands of vodka worldwide. Belvedere believes in creativity, excellence and working with the leaders of contemporary culture. It's our past, present, and future and is reflected in our many inventions and collaborations.

Leaving notes of vanilla and rye on the palate, the finish is crisp and clean with lingering white pepper spice. It has a distinctive, creamy mouth feel. Its aroma is a blend of vanilla, rye and white pepper.

Singita's Take on Multi-Generational Safaris


21st Century baby boomer grandparents are active and love to travel, and want to share the experience with their children and grandchildren. Labelled ‘multi-generational travel’, it is one of the biggest emerging trends in travel across the globe, says Virtuoso, the leading international luxury travel network.   Across the world there is a new thirst for family adventure, to unplug and spend time together, creating memories, sharing life-changing experiences, and educating children about different ways of life.

In Southern and East Africa, Singita Game Reserves is offering truly personalised, multi-generational family safaris that are custom-designed to provide rare, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Go on safari to celebrate a special occasion or family reunion, but many simply go to enjoy precious family time together.



Lindy Rousseau, Chief Marketing Officer of the Singita Group says: ‘Singita has no set itinerary, activities or ‘kids club’. For us it is all about focusing on individuals, and anticipating the needs of each unique family group - whether it is organizing activities to engage the children, or offering expert cultural experiences for the sophisticated, older guests in the family.  It is much more than facilitating rest and relaxation – it is about creating rare experiences for our guests. 

From the humbling experience of visiting  a makeshift classroom in the local township, to the miracle of a zebra foal being born out on the open plains, and being witness to that unguarded moment when it first stands on its own teetering legs. Unexpected moments like these are enough to capture the hearts of an entire family, and turn them into the fiercest of conservation gatekeepers, providing the kind of shared personal enrichment that no money can buy.’


Some safari lodges lend themselves perfectly to hosting a multi-generational family. One of Singita’s ten iconic lodges in four destinations in Africa, Singita Sweni in the Kruger National Park embraces this signature, ‘made-to-order’ guest experience that has earned it the reputation as a world leader.  Every visit is different, and with no restrictions or set schedules, it offers the ‘new luxury’ of slowing down in nature, and having time to rekindle family bonds.

At Singita Sweni Lodge families can enjoy the run of the lodge on an exclusive-use basis to accommodate up to 12 guests in six luxurious suites. Spectacularly elevated above the Sweni River, in the largest private concession within the Kruger National Park, it operates within a ground-breaking private/public partnership with SA National Parks (SANP), which has become the blueprint for successful eco-tourism business in protected areas. Located in the game rich far eastern reaches of the reserve, this unique solitary sanctuary within what is arguably ‘the world’s most famous wildlife destination’, makes it a favourite among multi-generational travellers.


Singita family safaris are defined by sharing experiences. The thrill of swopping safari stories under a blanket of stars ending off a perfect bush dinner, or the strong sense of community when a family joins the lodge staff choir with a traditional dance around a campfire - it’s about a new perspective, and taking home memories that have captured everyone’s hearts.

For children the fun and adventure never stops and with expert guiding on tap there is ample opportunity for all generations to gain deeper insight into the precious wildlife heritage safeguarded here. Life plays out differently in the bush and the thrill of a lion chase from the seat of an open-sided Land Rover is just one of the soul-stirring chance occurrences that may surprise guests in this theatre of nature.


The chance to give back through one of Singita’s inspiring conservation and community projects, offers an opportunity for many to become part of a profound and life-changing venture. A visit to the nearby Singita School of Cooking is an example of a wondrous voyage of cultural discovery where guests and their children can meet these young, aspirant cooks in the staff village, taste their favourite local dishes, and get a glimpse of their everyday life in the bush. Each family member will return from their safari adventure, having learned so much more through mutual experiences that have not only enriched and inspired, but may very well change the course of their lives.

SINGITA SWENI EXCLUSIVE 


Singita Sweni Lodge may be booked for exclusive use, at an all-inclusive rate of ZAR82 000 per night (valid for 2012) for a maximum of 12 people. Book 3 nights and enjoy the 4th night free.

Emirates Holidays A World of Choice

 
I had the privilige of attending Emirates Holidays launch where it unveiled its new 600-page ‘A World of Choice 2012-2013’ brochure featuring over a 100 destinations, eight of them brand new, spanning six continents. The tour operating arm of Emirates airline already enjoys a presence in South Africa after opening its first Travel Hub outside the UAE at the Melrose Arch Precinct in Johannesburg last year.

Cape Town
The Cape Town launch forms part of the company’s series of mini-launches in South Africa that started in Durban ends in Johannesburg this June to travel agents and media. “South Africa is a market with great potential for Emirates Holidays,” said Frederic Bardin, Senior Vice President, Emirates Holidays.

Casablanca
“With 2012 being a landmark year for Emirates Holidays, following the launch of the new destinations, travel offers and the reintroduction of some old favourites, we are extremely excited to introduce our best and biggest brochure to date to South Africa’s three major cities.”

Argentina, Denmark, Ireland, Zambia and Zimbabwe all make their first appearance in the brochure, which has grown by 20 per cent – from 500 to 600 pages – since the 2011-2012 edition. Holidays to Dallas and Seattle in the USA, along with Vancouver in Canada, have also been introduced this year to coincide with the launch of new routes to these cities by Emirates airline.


In addition to the exciting new destinations, Russia, Morocco, Malta and South Korea have all been reintroduced into the brochure in response to customer demand. Offerings in popular countries such as China, Thailand, India, South Africa and Germany have also been expanded to provide more travel options with a wider choice of cruises, safaris, palace hotels and dedicated wellness retreats. The once-popular Fly & Drive packages have also been re-launched this year in partnership with various car rental companies to satisfy customer desire for a more diverse range of holidays around the globe.


“At Emirates Holidays we offer a tailor-made holiday experience to each customer so the changes we have made this year reflect current travel trends and are based on what our customers have told us they want.  The expansion of our offering has been driven by the increased demand for a wider choice of destinations around the world. Places that were once considered out of reach are now easily accessible with the launch of new routes by Emirates airline and with the help of our new brochure, the travel opportunities are endless.”

Khartoum
To reach out to its increasingly diverse customer base and to further reinforce its position as the leading holiday expert in the Middle East, Emirates Holidays has also expanded its 3 and 4-star hotel offerings, in addition to a wider choice of 5-star accommodation. 

The brochure features many of these hotels, with many more available when booking directly with Emirates Holidays or via travel agents. As always, excellent service levels, destination knowledge and attention to detail play a core part in providing the impeccable customer service that Emirates Holidays has become known for.

A wide network of well-trained Emirates Holidays staff  will help bring ‘A World of Choice 2012-2013’ to life for every customer through well-informed recommendations on flights, accommodation and sightseeing – all based on travel experience and extensive research. The Brocuhre is now available online and at Emirates Holidays travel hubs, including the Melrose Arch Precinct and across its international network of travel agents.

From as little as ZAR8 100 during the months of June to August. “Emirates Holidays is delighted to bring our Summer Campaign to South Africa, one of our key markets which we believe holds great potential,” said Frederic Bardin, Senior Vice President, Emirates Holidays.  “Given the changing needs of travellers, we have carefully put together these holidays to ensure that our customers receive the best possible deal to suit their requirements and budget.”

Quintessentially Your Global Concierge


Whether it be last minute flights to Cape Town, Johannesburg or abroad or tables at the best restaurant’s around the world Quintessentially SA will ensure members get an exceptionally efficient service wherever they are located.


A world leader in global concierge services founded in the United Kingdom in 2000 operated as a “Private Members’ Club” available to members 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
With over 65 worldwide offices and upwards of 35 languages spoken, this multinational brand knows how to provide a “global yet local service”. And because it is operated on a member’s only basis, there is a cap placed on the total number of clients in order to insure that all their clients receive top notch quality services, tailored specifically to them.

The idea is that no matter where you may be in the world, there is always someone to take care of the details and make your life as easy and enjoyable as possible. With varying levels of service, members can expect to have a last minute table at a fully booked restaurant, tickets to the final of a world class sporting event, a VIP party planned to their exact specifications and invitations to attend high level networking events, just to name a few.

Pedro Camacho, the new owner and CEO of Quintessentially South Africa, has a very particular vision for the brand. His aim is to offer a well groomed, personalised, service to their members where requests are met above their expectations. "I want to make it better than the best and beyond what anyone expects”, enthuses Camacho.

In addition to the concierge service offerings, Quintessentially has 32 luxury sister businesses which covers all facets of the luxury lifestyle market, including Travel, Real Estate, Wine, Art, Luxury Retail, Events, Public Relations, Publishing and more. The various levels of membership range from General Membership, starting at R13, 000 per annum, to Dedicated and Dual Memberships starting at R32, 000 and R62, 335 per annum respectively, and finally Elite Memberships, which are by invitation only.

General Memberships allow members access to the AskQ concierge service, while the Dedicated and Dual Memberships, provide personal account managers, two for the dual membership. For those who are invited into the exclusive ranks of the Elite Membership, they can expect to have account managers provided for all of Quintessentially’s territories, twenty-four seven.

Quintessentially seamlessly deals with the more typical day to day concierge requests like chauffeured airport transfers, flower and champagne delivery and tables at fully booked restaurants, but also prides itself on being able to accommodate even the most taxing and unusual of tasks like arranging an overnight shipment of 200 Ladurée Macarons and 202 red roses from London to Slovenia.

Collecting medical documents from Rome and returning them to a client in London in the same day, recovering a digital camera left in a Taxi in Shanghai, researching the rules and regulations for owning a gorilla as a pet in Singapore and personally selecting a dress and delivering it to a Saudi Princess in Dubai before a photo shoot and flight later that day.


Members find the service truly indispensable. Many have been quoted saying that it was invaluable in a time of emergency or distress such as one member's ' son breaking his arm in Ibiza when Quintessentially found the best doctor and hospital and even helped them avoid the queue.

Even the PA to Coldplay uses the service to make room at fully booked restaurants or get the band to wherever they need to go. There is no task too great or too small for Quintessentially, they are always there to make the life of their members easier and provide only the best quality services by leaving the details to those at Quintessentially who do it best.
