โWine is the only artwork you can drink.โ Luis Fernando Olaverri
The pairing of food and wine takes centre stage at The Palazzo at Montecasino for one elegant, exclusive event each month as a selection of fine wines from a leading wine estate are paired with a multi-course menu, presented by Tsogo Sunโs group sommelier, Miguel Chan, and The Palazzoโs executive chef, Gareth Jordaan.
Andrew Hosking, Tsogo Sun Hotels Operations Director, Gauteng Northern Central region, says the wine evenings bring together โthe perfect combination of elements for which Tsogo Sun is renowned โ excellent wines, world-class cuisine, and in-depth knowledge and understanding of both โ for a very special evening for wine lovers, in the exquisite setting of The Palazzoโs Rosa.โ
