The Really Cool Book Club Summer Luncheon

The Really Cool Book Club Summer Luncheon

Sunday, 18 October 2026 Beechwood Gardens, Johannesburg

This summer, The Really Cool Book Club invites you to a beautiful afternoon of books, food, conversation and lifelong learning at the enchanting Beechwood Gardens.

For this special gathering, we’re bringing together the things we love most: good books, good food, good wine and even better conversation.

Our afternoon will feature a special Mediterranean cooking class guided by Chef Susan Greig, giving guests the opportunity to explore the flavours, techniques and inspiration behind Mediterranean cuisine in an engaging, hands-on experience.

The culinary experience will be complemented by a curated wine tasting and pairing, allowing guests to discover how different wines can enhance the flavours and ingredients of Mediterranean-inspired dishes.

And while The Really Cool Book Club was created with women at its heart, this luncheon is open to everyone. Ladies are welcome to attend with their husbands, partners, friends or family - because great books, beautiful food and interesting conversations are for everyone.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your appetite. Bring someone you love.
