Living in paradise has its perks — and the next one is pouring.
On Thursday, 27 November 2025, the Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa is rolling out the red carpet for an unforgettable Wine Pairing Dinner featuring two South African legends: Graham Beck and Steenberg.
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to dress up, eat well, and drink better — this is it. All set in the chic, candlelit setting of Island Café, right here in your own coastal backyard.
🥂 Wine + Food = Local Luxury
This isn’t your average Thursday night. Expect four indulgent courses, each paired with a perfectly selected vintage. The menu has been crafted to celebrate flavour, elegance, and the kind of flair you don’t find just anywhere:
-
Welcome: Saldanha oysters with pickles, lemon emulsion & sprouts + Steenberg Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc
-
1st Course: Smoked pork belly with beetroot & spiced pineapple + Graham Beck Brut
-
2nd Course: Line-fish ceviche with peach salsa + Steenberg Sauvignon Blanc
-
3rd Course: Braised beef short rib with bean cassoulet, herbs & smoked paprika + Steenberg Merlot
-
Dessert: Wild honey cheesecake with berry salad + Graham Beck Bliss Nectar
It’s all the flavours of the Garden Route — elevated, plated, and paired to perfection.
