Held for the first time at the Johannesburg City Hall, the Grand Gala was a gathering of people who wanted to share and to give back while enjoying culinary highlights, fabulous wines, outstanding art and world-class entertainment in the most stunning setting. 

14 international and national acclaimed chefs and seven sommeliers collaborated in seven teams to create seven different menus for the evening. Leading artists donated their work towards the good cause and the proceeds from the auction benefit various charities concentrating on Youth Development.
