This Women’s Day, trade traffic for tranquility and head up the coast for something truly special: an indulgent afternoon of fine food, exceptional wine, and inspiring company at the Island Café in Knysna.
On Saturday, 9 August 2025, the chic, waterside restaurant at the Turbine Hotel & Spa is hosting a Women’s Day Luncheon in partnership with Jordan Wine Estate—and it’s the perfect excuse to turn your long weekend into a Garden Route getaway.
Hosted by Melanie Kahts of Jordan Wine Estate, the event features a 3-course menu with expertly paired wines, showcasing Jordan’s best-loved vintages—from the bright and crisp Dry Rosé 2024 to the bold, velvety Chameleon Merlot 2022.
- Set against the serene backdrop of Thesen Island, you’ll enjoy a relaxed, elegant lunch that celebrates the incredible women in our lives. It’s the kind of event that makes you want to linger just a little longer (and maybe book that spa treatment afterwards).
