Culinary Innovations at the Grande Roche Hotel

Beukes won the Arthur C Clarke Award for her novel Zoo City and her latest novel, The Shining Girls was named one of Huffington Post's top-40 most anticipated books for 2013 and will be adapted for international television release by Leonardo DiCaprio's production company Appian Way in collaboration with MRC. It's a thriller that breaks the boundaries and is bound to have readers on the edge of their seats.

One of the world's top-100 estates

Thelema Vineyards is a family owned and managed wine estate in Stellenbosch. Situated at the top of the Helshoogte Pass, it is one of the highest and coolest estates in the area. The combination of Thelema's wine-making style, the high altitude and deep-red soils results in flavourful, flamboyant, complex and long-lasting wines with a distinctive South African character. Thelema was recently rated one of the world's top-100 estates.

Crime and thrilling adventure, combined with the culinary alchemy of Bosman's Restaurant's chef Roland and fine Thelema wines, will add up to an entertaining evening for gastronomes and bookworms alike.

The cost is R385, including a four-course dinner and wine pairing.
