Known for an innovative and passionate approach to relaxed dining and the enthusiastic encouragement of home cooking, Leopard’s Leap Family Vineyards is proud to present a fresh interpretation of its cooking programme.

Setting the scene in a refurbished, trendy kitchen, is a centre-piece table that is warm and welcoming despite its sleek and modern look. It is around this table that the new cooking demonstrations – replacing the popular Leopard’s Leap’s cooking classes – will be presented. Without compromising interactivity and participation, the cooking demonstrations will be presented in a way that is more relaxed around the kitchen table. Chef Pieter de Jager will demonstrate thematic dishes while involving participants in all aspects of cooking and guide them to better understand dishes and recipes, to practice technique and to confidently identify tastes and finding a complementing wine match.

The Cooking Demonstration programme for 2017 covers South African classics for heritage month in September, all about charring, blistering and smoking in October when the weather promotes outside cooking, vegetables in all their forms for November and of course the Wineland’s take on festive food in December.

Cooking Demonstrations cost: R450 per person
