Did you catch the main man; Gary Barlow on ITV for his a brand new travel series in South Africa?

I have been lucky enough to have visited this varied and super exciting destination many times, and it never fails to disappoint, in particular the fantastic food and wine, enjoyed in the most awe-inspiring settings.


Despite travelling the world as part of Take That, the multi-award winning singer songwriter has always had a soft spot for South Africa and now as a newcomer and an entrepreneur in the wine industry, Gary’s endearing love of the country extends beyond the epic landscapes and roaming wildlife.

Gary is set to start his journey on the Western Cape exploring the vineyards and learning about the variety of grapes, their sustainability, and what food is paired perfectly with each before driving through the breathtaking scenery.


Joined by friends along the way, Gary will also head further North to embark on a safari experience of a lifetime and enjoy the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg, where he’ll discover a wine revolution is taking place!

I have included some images of Gary enjoying South Africa's hospitality (provided by South African Tourism) as well as my own 🤣- i am sure they were very similar experiences!🥂🍷🍾

If you would like to experience this wonderful destination, please get in touch.
