What’s a gourmet meal without the perfect wine pairing? The event featured carefully selected wines from Delheim Wines, expertly matched with each dish. This added an extra layer of sophistication to the dining experience and allowed attendees to savour the flavors in a harmonious union of food and wine.

Personalised Aprons:

As a delightful bonus, every participant received a custom apron. These aprons served as a memento of the event, a tangible reminder of the culinary journey they embarked on during the Jan Kriel Food Jam.

A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:
