Welcome

Dear All,

I am looking forward to meeting those of you I have not yet met on the 26th November at the member function being hosted by Bihari. Thanks to David and Donna Ross for their generosity and input, it looks set to be a brilliant evening!

The website is gaining momentum and we are being inundated with requests both locally and internationally; everything from wedding venues, vineyards and accommodation availability to the best things to do and see on a day tour. On the subject of the website you should have recently received a request for website corrections and additions, thank you to those members that have already completed these and returned them to me at belinda@constantiavalley.com. If you have not yet had the chance to complete yours, please do so as soon as possible as we are only as good as the information we supply! Alternatively you can bring completed forms to the member function.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest members, Little Works, Generator, i3zone passport and Manuka. They will soon feature on the website and will be new additions in the 2008 brochure. Once again, please let us know if there are any other businesses in the valley that you feel will benefit from becoming members of the CVA; the strength of the Association most definitely lies with its member base. We trust that you are all busy networking and interacting with each other...

Finally, if you feel there is anything the CVA should be doing on your behalf please let us know. We are a young association and the more ideas and input we receive from our member base, the more competitive we can become!

See you on the 26th

Belinda

Tarragon’s approach may be expressed as ‘back-to-basics’. Restaurateurs David and Emma have pared away the frills, the foreign terminology, they hype and trendy gimmickry often intended to baffle and intimidate the patron. Rather, Tarragon concentrates purely on exquisite quality of ingredients and focused technique, intended to enhance and reveal the essential character of food.

In keeping with their love of uncomplicated dishes, Tarragon restaurant situated in Tokai's West Lake Lifestyle centre, recently launched a sushi bar.

Previously of Hongs Sushi Restaurant in Claremont, Sushi Chef Jason Wu brings his experience and reputation to add to Chef David Haupt's philosophy of "simplicity and flavour".
