There are dinners, and then there are experiences that stay with you long after the final glass has been poured. The Harvest Table Dining Experience at Pink Valley Wines in Stellenbosch is one of those rare evenings - where culinary artistry, winemaking mastery, and human connection come together in an unforgettable way.
From page to plate: A cookbook brought to life
The inspiration for this exclusive event comes from the international award-winning cookbook Harvest Table by executive chef Monché Muller. The book, which in 2023 earned the coveted Best in the World title at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, celebrates the culinary and winemaking traditions of France, Italy, Spain, and South Africa.
At the Harvest Table Dining Experience, Chef Monché cooks directly from these pages, transforming recipes into a four-course journey that celebrates both heritage and creativity. Think South African-inspired dishes, maybe some authentic French bouillabaisse, or Sicilian fritters - all reimagined with a contemporary touch.
Not just a pairing: A conversation between food and wine
Unlike traditional food-and-wine pairings, this experience treats both elements as equals. Each course is accompanied by wines from Taaibosch, Le Chant, and Pink Valley Rosé, as well as selected international partners from France, Spain, and Italy.
Guiding the evening are two experts: Chef Monché Muller, who shares the stories behind the dishes, and one of the Oddo Vins et Domaines winemakers, who uncorks the narrative of each wine. Together, they invite guests into a conversation that’s as rich as the flavors on the table.
The harvest table setting: Shared stories, shared plates
The evening unfolds around a long harvest table designed to bring strangers together. Limited to just 20 seats per event, the intimate setting ensures a sense of community - guests leave not just with satisfied palates but with new friends.
This unique format reflects the philosophy behind the Harvest Table cookbook: food and wine are not just sustenance, but a way to connect, celebrate, and share stories across cultures.
