CATERING
We bring food to life with a variety of events and experiences that cater to every palate. Imagine a summer or autumn evening soirée, where you can sip on beautiful wines under the stars. Or join us for a High Tea with all the trimmings, infused with local flair as South African flavours and favourites come together in a delightful spread.
Who says plant-based food can’t be exciting? At Bad Rib, we’re passionate about delivering vibrant, delicious, and downright fun vegan and plant-based catering. Whether it’s a casual picnic or a gourmet dinner, our dishes are packed with flavour and flair. Expect colourful plates, inventive recipes, and a dining experience that’s good for the planet and your taste buds.
ADVENTURES
Every event should be an adventure, but some experiences deserve a stage of their own. Our ADVENTURES are designed to be more than just activities; they are immersive experiences that offer something special for everyone. Take our wine tours, for example – these aren’t just for wine lovers. Imagine starting your day on a Segway, gliding through scenic vineyards, or perhaps taking a more traditional approach with a walking or cycling tour. For those who prefer to stay grounded, how about a tractor ride that ends with a tasting session? And don’t worry, we have something for everyone, including non-alcoholic options and beverages of your choice, while the wine enthusiasts savour their selections.
But if you are intrigued by the wine itself, you’re in for a treat. South Africa boasts more wine farms – ranging from large estates to boutique and garagiste producers – than one could visit in a lifetime. We’re here to help you explore and experience as many of these poetic creations in a bottle as possible.
Speaking of garagiste wines, this term harks back to a group of independent winemakers in France, specifically Bordeaux, who crafted remarkable wines in garages, farmhouses, or small industrial buildings. In South Africa, we celebrate these artisans who often produce some of the best, albeit lesser-known, wines. Their small-scale operations mean their creations are like well-kept secrets, waiting to be discovered.
