Some journeys are simply different.
Next year, I’ll be hosting an intimate culinary safari through South Africa for a very limited number of guests.
From private food experiences in Cape Town and world-class wine and dining in the Cape Winelands to luxurious safari lodges in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, every detail has been carefully curated for travelers who believe food is one of the best ways to understand a place.
This isn’t a tour. It’s an invitation into South Africa’s culinary and cultural landscape through extraordinary hospitality, exclusive access and unforgettable shared experiences.
I’m especially excited to share this experience with the Spilled Milk community. These are the kinds of journeys that stay with you long after you return home, where the people, places and meals become part of the story.
Space is extremely limited, and I expect spots to fill quickly.
If exceptional food, meaningful travel and once-in-a-lifetime experiences speak to you, I’d love to have you along.
I found myself staring recently at yet another flood of Instagram posts celebrating a summertime Amalfi Coast-style pop-up operating inside a Minneapolis hotel restaurant.
The videos were nice. The lighting was perfect. Everyone seemed to be having fun. The cocktails glowed in the late afternoon sun. The tables looked as if they wanted you to believe they came directly from Positano. Captions overflowed with enthusiasm and declarations that this was the experience of the summer.
What was missing was almost everything else.
