Seychelles: Now open to South African travellers

Seychelles: Now open to South African travellers

by Renate Engelbrecht | Sep 14, 2021 | FEATURED POST 2, INTERNATIONAL TRAVELS

As you might know by now, the Seychelles is one of my favourite destinations, which is why I think it is worth mentioning that paradise is now open to South Africans. Yes, South Africa has been removed from the archipelago’s list of ‘restricted...

Happy place. The Tasting Room. Backsberg John Mart Happy place. The Tasting Room. Backsberg John Martin Red Blend. 'nough said. The John Martin red blend is a lovely harmony on the palate and a clear all-rounder. And, tasting it at The Tasting Room is such a treat. #wine #winetime #pretotia #proetoria #haveyoubeen #winetasting #winewinewine #suitcaseandchardonnay #foodandwine #winelover #winewriter

When people ask me why I enjoy drinking wine, I te When people ask me why I enjoy drinking wine, I tell them it's for the memories made while enjoying the wine. My official fondness for wine dates back to 2010, when I moved to Cape Town. My father drove down with me and while we wanted to drive straight through from Joburg, at one point we were just too tired and I found us accommodation in the nearest town: Matjiesfontein. We stayed in the beautiful vintage hotel and that night, we indulged in 'boerekos' like I had never had before. Plus, my father ordered a bottle of red wine for the table, and we polished it. The memories of the conversations we had - me and my dad - the delicious food and just the overall atmosphere are etched in my heart forever. That's what wine did for me. I only later learned how special Cap Classique is and Graham Beck must be one of the most special Cap Classiques I've ever tasted. I believe you can taste authenticity and passion and in Graham Beck, you taste both. Thank you, Graham Beck, for including me in your 40-year-celebrations. What an honour to have experienced the unique 'look-in-the-eye' cheers gesture and to have been included in such a fine group of people who all enjoy the joys of bubbles. I tasted some very special Cap Classiques today and it was such a privilege. To the next 40 years, Graham Beck! Thank you, also, to the team at @fsjohannesburg for a dlightful and very special lunch. #bubbly #capclassique #grahambeck #grahambeck40th #gbcelebrates40years #legacywritteninthestars #bubbles #wine #winewriter #wineblogger #southafrica
FASHION FOR SURVIVAL So, who watched the first ep FASHION FOR SURVIVAL So, who watched the first episode of National Geographic's latest season of Primal Survivor: Extreme African Safari last night? Not too long ago, I met survivalist and former biology teacher, Hazen Audel at the launch event of the season and even learned how to make my own fire with a flint! On my blog, he shares his thoughts on fashion for survival... What are the fashion items you would pack if you have to traverse 100 miles across East Africa, on foot? Read all about Hazen Audel's favourite survival attire - from sarongs to rubber shoes - on Suitcase & Chardonnay. https://www.suitcaseandchardonnay.co.za/fashion-for-survival-hazen-audel-wings-it-in-the-wild/ 📷 @natgeo #survivalseries #survival #hazenaudel #primalsurvivorafrica #natgeoafrica #nationalgeographic #travel #explore #fashion #fashionforsurvival #suitcaseandchardonnay #travelblogger #travelwriter
