Noting that winegrowing in South Africa celebrates its 350th birthday this year, more than a dozen of the Island’s top chefs have been challenged to create a fabulous appetizer, paired to a specific South African Wine and/or a sumptuous dessert using Amarula Cream as one of the ingredients. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The evening will kick off with a bubbly reception where you can meet the chefs and peruse their creations. Once seated in the ballroom, each chef or team will be introduced and say a few words about their creation, before you are treated to an educational tasting seminar featuring the wines of the evening. Then, you'll be set free to taste, pair and vote for your favourites.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Tickets are $60, with all proceeds to benefit the Greater Victoria Eldercare Foundation.
