Vine-ing for your attention

I do feel pretty #blessed to be living in one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Cape Town you beaut, you got it going on! This newsletter we bring a Mother City homage of sorts.

If just visiting Cape Town, then no fear as Brandon de Kock lets you know what to see, do and eat when visiting the city for just 48 hours. Jarred Mannase gives his top five Western Cape vineyards, and Brittany Hawkins brings you the top 10 wine farms to visit for foodies. Sticking to news of the vine, I test JC Le Roux's new premium MCC range Vibrazio.

In other news, we bring you galleries of Splashy Fen, Parklife and the red carpet action from the 2017 Bokeh South African International Fashion Film Festival.

P.S. Don't forget Restaurant Week, which sees you get great specials when dining out, kicks off today!
