It is the season to be bubbly and we are introducing the festivities on 16 November with Bubbly & Bublé. With a plethora of offerings, Benguela Cove is now also a showstopper for art lovers and recently opened its Sculpture park in collaboration with Anton Smit. On 30 October, in Paris, Hermanus and the municipal area of the Overstrand was named a Creative City of Gastronomy. Situated on the doorstep of the Walker Bay, visitors can look forward to the innovative, colourful and flavourful dishes prepared by talented chef Annie Badenhorst. So yes, culinary talent certainly runs in the Benguela Collection family as we saw chef Jean Delport becoming the second SA Chef to receive a Michelin star for Restaurant Interlude in the UK.
