The Greenhouse Restaurant recently scooped up the 2011 Eat Out and DSTV Food Network award not only as ‘Restaurant of the Year’ but also as the ‘No 1 Restaurant in South Africa’. It has become the favourite subject of food writers, local leisure seekers, international travelers and, auspiciously, the Travel Concepts team alike.

We asked our team to recommend to our customers just one wine estate to visit whilst they were here. Which one would it be and why?

Richard Holt – our inhouse wine fanatic/fundi and Travel Concepts Director recently visited Constantia Glen wine estate. This is what went down – according to him!

Mandi Johnson-Aliverti, our dynamic head of travel, recently spent the morning in the lush Constantia Valley with 2 very important ladies in her life. She was on a quest to find out what else one can do in this valley – other than sample wines, shop and ride horses!
