TASTY FOOD AND DRINK PAIRINGS IN STORE AT KWV GOURMET MARKET AT DECOREX DURBAN

Visitors to Decorex Durban are in for a treat at the KWV Gourmet Market where there’s sure to be something delicious to suit everyone’s taste.
Decorex Durban takes place over the Human Rights Day weekend, from 20 to 23 March 2014, at the Durban Exhibition Centre and promises to be a great day out for the whole family.

The KWV Gourmet Market will be the perfect setting to take a break from exploring all that Kwa-Zulu Natal’s most stylish décor, design and lifestyle exhibition has to offer. A variety of refreshments will be on offer, with organisers cleverly suggesting food and drink pairings for visitors.
Nadia Reynders, Brand Activation Manager at KWV, said her team looked forward to introducing the Decorex Durban visitors to both the KWV classic wine range as well as some of KWV’s easy-drinking drinks like JimmiJagga, a fusion wine spritzer, and Ciao, the premium mixed cocktails blended with real fruit juice.

KWV wines are classic and elegant, each with their own timeless character, she said. “The KWV Classic Collection brings out the best in local fruit, creating a sophisticated range of vintage wines that stay true to its South African heart.”

“We hope that visitors will enjoy a delicious experience at the KWV Gourmet Market and that everyone will have a taste of the KWV Classic wines as well as our innovative ready to drink brands,” said Nadia. She added that the suggested food and drink pairings would make for a fun new approach to market-style dining.

On the food menu at the KWV Gourmet Market will be a meze, tapas and salad harvest-style table, a Greek lamb and seafood spread courtesy of Eat Greek, gourmet hot dogs, venison burgers as well as delicious Halaal meals by Jellyfish and Vrushiks’ vegetarian fare.

Visitors to Decorex Durban last year raved about Afro’s Chicken, who will be back again with their trendy food truck. For dessert, look out for exquisite confectionaries by Daniella’s or have frozen yoghurt from Bella and Boo. You can round off a perfect meal with a delicious cup of coffee made by the recently crowned SA Coffee Barista Champion, Craig Charity. Craig will be selling his award-winning coffee at the KWV Gourmet Market, and you can catch him demonstrating how to brew the perfect cup at the Design Your Life theatre.

Durban’s popular The Food Market, is coordinating the food vendors for the KWV Gourmet Market, and
are inviting food specialists to create the delicious spread on offer, ensuring visitors a delightful dining experience at Decorex Durban.
Sian Steyn, General Manager of Decorex SA says, “We’re going to create a night market experience,complete with fairy lights, stylish communal seating and menu info on chalk boards. I don’t think anyone’s going to want to leave!”

Decorex Durban stays open until 8pm daily and until 6pm on Sunday, which means there’s a good
chance the KWV Gourmet Market is likely to be one of the most popular exhibits at the show.
