What is Taste of Durban?
This is an event that has been going for a couple of years nationally. It is a showcase and sampling of some of the best food in the city, along with plenty of drinks options (wine, craft beer, spritzers, liqueurs, cocktails, soft drinks) to keep you well oiled while you feast. You purchase tasting plates of delicious food, sample wines, spirits and other drinks and participate or watch cooking-related events and demonstrations. I love it because it is entirely food & drink focused. It is my favourite event of the year.
Where is Taste of Durban?
As per last year, it will be hosted at Suncoast, where there is plenty of secure parking. Parking at Suncoast is R10.
