Eat, drink and be merry

With the festive season fast approaching, one would do well to know where the hottest places to dine are. Luckily, Eat Out have supplied just the list with the announcement of the Top 10 Restaurants at the Eat Out Awards last Sunday; there are no excuses for not knowing where to go if in the mood for some decadent dining. And with good food shall come good wine; Evan-Lee Courie reports back on the winners of the 2014 Klink Wine Tourism Awards. In other wining and dining news, I review the Nederburg's Heritage Heroes food and wine pairing.

Leigh Andrews interviews the NAC's Rosemary Mangope about new funding to the arts, and the initial artists for the Cape Town Jazz Fest are announced.

'Tis the season for giving and we're happy to oblige, two tickets to the Cape Town Festival of Beer, Park Acoustics last concert of year, and the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert featuring the SA National Youth Orchestra are all up for grabs!

Ho, ho, ho!
