Event information
The Cape Town Fynbos Experience creator Giselle Courney takes you on an ancient flavour ‘trail’ of aromatic infusions made from eleven of the 7000 species in the Fynbos biome.
The Cape Town Fynbos Experience® is a guided tasting of South Africa’s novel flavours that are unique to the southern tip of Africa.
Using infusion, unique botanical flavours are extracted with water, sugar, salt, oil, vinegar and alcohol to create herbal teas, cordials, culinary salts, vinaigrettes and digestives. The tasting room is filled with the fragrance of fresh fynbos plants, such as the cancer bush, rhino bush, and Buchu. At individual place settings guests find beautifully presented glass beakers with tea infusions, Petri dishes with fresh stalks of Spekboom and fynbos salts, and get to learn about the different botanical species and their properties.
Lunch is an experimental tapas accompanied by the South African Fynbos® range of seasonings and botanical infusions. The programme includes a scenic stroll on the Clairvaux estate, a haven for critically endangered Swartland renosterveld.
