Over the course of last week the Creation Culinary Team have been delighted to welcome Chef Thomas Rode Andersen and Sommelier Thilde Maarbjerg from Denmark in their midst. The couple was visiting Creation as part of the ‘Reaching for the Stars’ campaign, an initiative aimed at bringing exciting international flavours to our table.

The high-profile Thomas is a Michelin-starred chef and the author of various bestsellers on gastronomy. Thilde is chief sommelier at the wine company Løgismose Vin and regarded as one of Denmark’s leading food and wine experts. Click here to view a video of the successful wine and food pairing event recently presented by Thomas and Thilde in collaboration with the Creation team.

What follows is Thilde’s impressions of South Africa and more specifically, of Creation Wines.

South Africa is exotic and vibrant, a natural wonder in itself, a place for entrepreneurship and development and sadly misunderstood by many people outside the country. 

Being there, visiting two dynamic people who showed us the coming true of their dreams and the love and respect for their land was enlightening beyond any expectation. It is one thing to recognise potential, another daring to bring it to life and coping with all the challenges that inevitably show up along the way.
