For Garden Route locals who appreciate exceptional food and fine wine without having to leave home, The Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa is bringing something special to Knysna this March.
On Thursday, 26 March 2026, The Turbine will partner with the acclaimed Grande Provence estate for an elegant Food & Wine Pairing Dinner at Island Café — an evening designed for those who love discovering beautifully matched flavours in a relaxed yet refined setting.
And if recent months are anything to go by, it will sell out quickly.
- A Perfect Excuse for a Midweek Indulgence: Why wait for a special occasion? This curated dining experience offers locals the opportunity to enjoy a Winelands-calibre pairing event right here on Thesen Island — no long drives required. Set within the stylish industrial charm of The Turbine, the evening blends sophistication with Knysna’s easy coastal atmosphere. Think polished, but never pretentious. Elegant, yet welcoming.
For Knysna and Garden Route residents, this is the kind of evening that makes midweek memorable. Whether it’s a date night, a gathering with friends, or simply a chance to enjoy something out of the ordinary, the Grande Provence Wine Dinner promises flavour, conversation, and a touch of indulgence.
At R695 per person, it offers exceptional value for a multi-course wine pairing experience in one of Knysna’s most distinctive venues.
Time: 18h30
Dress Code: Smart casual
The Turbine’s previous wine dinners have sold out well in advance, and this one is expected to follow suit. For Garden Route locals who know and love great wine, this is an evening not to miss.
