Cape Town Fynbos Experience®
A GUIDED TASTING OF GOURMET FYNBOS FLAVOURS
Just 75km northeast of Cape Town, tucked within a private Wellington estate, the Cape Town Fynbos Experience® unfolds as a journey of the senses, imagination and origin. Led by culinary Fynbos specialist Giselle Courtney, this intimate tasting reveals the extraordinary flavours, fragrances and culinary potential of the Cape Floristic Region - a living archive of over 7,000 tenacious Fynbos species older than humanity itself.
Within a botanical cellar curated with rare Fynbos species, each novel flavour and fragrance becomes an exploration. Guests are guided through the subtle chemistry of these indigenous botanicals, discovering nuanced flavour profiles, creative pairings and the culinary artistry that elevates wild plants into gourmet cuisine. Ancient Fynbos herbs, with their unparalleled aromatic and medicinal qualities, offer an experience unlike any other - a reminder of what it means to be deeply human: intuitive, creative and alive.
The experience continues with a scenic stroll across the estate’s Swartland renosterveld - a sanctuary for critically endangered flora, allowing guests to witness these extraordinary botanicals in situ. Lunch is an experimental tapas accompanied by the complete South African Fynbos® range of seasonings and botanical infusions.
Participants leave not only with an enriched palate and profound sensory impressions, but also with the South African Fynbos® Flavour Wheel, seeds and fresh botanical samples to press and curate a home herbarium - a personal archive of origin.
