Salt Restaurant & Bar Launches Star-Studded Dinner & Wine Diary

South Africa, Cape Town, May 2009;



CAPE TOWN’s stylish Salt Restaurant & Bar with its dream location on the Atlantic Seaboard has launched an enviable dinner and wine diary for the upcoming winter season.

Under the helm of General Manager Gidi Caetano and Head Chef Dave Winton, Salt is already known as a wine connoisseur’s ‘honey pot’ due to the venue’s Diner’s Club Platinum Award Wine List (2007 & 2008), which offers no less than seventy wines by the glass.

Salt Restaurant’s Wine & Gourmet Evenings will take place on the last Thursday of each month running from May through to October 2009. Priced at R350.00 per person, the four-course menu will be perfectly matched with four wines. Hosted by the estate’s winemaker, the evenings will be relaxed affairs and are designed without the formality that generally goes with wine and menu pairings. A lucky diner also stands the chance to win a case of wine from the host wine estate.

28 May 2009:
Klein Genot Wines with winemaker Mark Carmichael-Green

25 June 2009:
Dornier Wines with winemaker JC van Zyl
