Launching Wine Forty Four

Last August we launched our inaugural edition of Wine Forty Four with support of our partner Yoco. The Saturday afternoon tasting event brought 15 South African women winemakers to our courtyard to share their stories and winemaking philosophies, celebrating women small business owners in our community.

We are delighted to announce our second edition of Wine Forty Four coming to 44 Stanley on 12 April, once again proudly supported by Yoco. This autumn’s Wine Forty Four is The Slow Edition: shining a light on wines crafted with care for the land and respect for the process. A selection of wineries that champion organic and regenerative farming, sustainable winemaking, and ethical practices has been curated. The tasting event of Wine Forty Four once again offers a space for wine lovers to connect, share philosophies, and celebrate a movement that values mindful consumption and authenticity.

Throughout April, 44 Stanley is embracing the art of slowing down. Inspired by Earth Day, the change of season, and a commitment to sustainability, the month is dedicated to Slow Living – a celebration of thoughtful choices, conscious consumption, and connection to nature.

Life is Peachy

Eat Out magazine recently chatted to Peachy’s chef Jess Doveton about her inspiration for the menu.

Jess shares her love for travel, Thailand and memories with us, which all inspires her cooking. She shares the start to her cooking journey and what she’s learned about herself, along the way.

Peachy is a dine bar, found next to the Bioscope, with an eclectic menu of dishes.

Bizcommunity.com a popular website for the Creative industries have reviewed Peachy, who recently won "Ethnic Restaurant of the Year" in the Hospitality Counsel's Luxe Restaurant Awards.
It is labelled as “…otherworldly side of ‘boho chic’”, with a definite recommendation to try Peachy. We agree!



A little bite of East Africa

Little Addis Cafe have been around since 2012 and was situated in Maboneng. This cafe offers authentic Ethiopian food, suitable for vegetarians and carnivores alike. The plates boasts veggies like green beans, potatoes and beetroot - none like you ever tasted before! With chicken, lamb and beef for the meat lovers and an assortment of lentils, suitable for vegetarians. All served on freshly made injera.

Truly a must see!
