As an addition to the exhibition, and incorporating the three passions of art, wine and food, the gastronomic creativity of Pierneef à La Motte Restaurant’s Chef Michelle Theron as well as the culinary inspiration of the commissioned ceramicists resulted in the design of a new execution to the estate’s award-winning Food and Wine Tasting.
