Picture this, a sunny afternoon spent sipping on your favourite vino whilst exploring over 500 local wineries or even better, learning from 67 of South Africa’s finest cooks, chefs, gardeners, bakers, farmers, foragers and local food heroes. Sounds like something out of a foodie’s dreams doesn’t it?
Fortunately, these dreams are a reality in the pages of two of Quivertree Publications’ beautiful books. Founded nearly twenty years ago, Quivertree has produced a string of award-winning publications. It all started with a meeting of minds. Two established professionals – Libby Doyle, designer and Craig Fraser, photographer. More Than Food is incredibly excited to be able to showcase a number of their celebrated titles.

We’ve had the pleasure of spending many hours journeying through our luscious local wineries. After each trip, we delight in the memories we created whilst admiring Craig’s wonderful winelands photography.
South Africa is part of the new world of wine, the wineries presented in this book are a representation of the evolution of the industry, the way it appeals through architecture and philosophy to the sophisticated wine drinking market.
