TAJ Cape Town recently played host to the eagerly anticipated annual Winemakers' Lunch, a highlight on the Reaching for Young Stars calendar, now proudly in its 18th year. Held in the magnificent Bombay Brasserie, the occasion brought together some of South Africa's most celebrated winemakers alongside young beverage students, offering a rare and enriching opportunity to bridge industry expertise with emerging talent. TAJ Cape Town has provided a home for the Reaching for Young Stars programme for two years, supporting its mission to grow and develop participants through a diverse and wide-ranging curriculum. The programme equips students with skills and knowledge spanning food, wine, and the broader hospitality industry, experience that has proven invaluable for those pursuing international careers.
