Designed to delight the senses, the first annual Family, Food and Fragrance Festival is set to take place in the gardens of the D’oreale Grande Hotel, at Emperors Palace, on May 7 and 8.
Presented in association with AJK51 (PTY) LTD, the festival is a unique fusion of flavours and fragrance that will appeal to connoisseurs and fanatics alike.
Visitors will be able to enjoy delectable tasters of dishes from top foodies, local wineries and breweries, samples of enchanting perfumes, live entertainment and delightful surprises galore.

The 90-minute workshops will take place on May 7, at 11.30am, for seven to nine-year-olds, and on May 8, at 1pm, for four to six-year-olds.

Some of the exclusive concepts of the festival include aroma theatres, scent tunnels and scent hunts.
In the aroma theatres, visitors will be able to experiment and blend their own fragrant diffusers and perfumes.
The scent tunnels promise to be an out of this world sensory adventure, with whiffs and sounds of elements such as Mother Nature, the earth, fragrant grass, birds, the beach, piña coladas and crashing waves.
There will also be beauty treatments, trinkets and treats in abundance for mothers by best-of-breed brands, cosmetic houses and perfumeries.
In addition, there will be ongoing amusement for children, fun play areas and scent hunts that will reward them for tracking down and identifying favourite smells.
The event will be open from 10.30am to 5.30am on May 7, and from 10.30am to 5pm on May 8.
