Soweto wine festival offers new food attractions
The Tops Soweto Wine Festival, scheduled for 1-3 September 2011, is not only fully booked with exhibitors but has added two more food outlets.
Appletiser has teamed up with some of Soweto's finest restaurants to bring visitors a sit-down restaurant-type environment, with live jazz band and festival favourite 'Safika'. Patrons can choose from a selection of foods from the Soweto Hotel's Jazz Maniacs Restaurant, Roots Restaurant & Gallery, or Sushi by entrepreneur Vusi Albert Kunene of Mobile Sushi. Dinner will be served in a sit-down environment.
The second is the Ribshack Red Shisa Nyama Bedouin Marquee, where visitors can sit down and enjoy a Shisa Nyama with a glass of DGB's Ribshack Red, which is a blend of Pinotage and Shiraz, with a touch of wood, ideal for meat dishes.
Shisa Nyama, which means "braaing the meat" in isiZulu, is a buy-and-braai concept that started in South Africa's townships. It will be cooked by Soweto-based chef, David Molope, a member of the South African Chef's Association (SACA).
