Based in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, with what is believed to be the largest collection of South African wines outside South Africa, frequent winemaker dinners and dishes like seswaa, chakalaka and inguday tibs, Jiko is a resort attraction that’s not to be missed.
From the Sommelier: “Wine consumers in restaurants are more educated and have developed a more sophisticated palate over the years, which makes wine list engineering fun for restaurants like Jiko. South African wines in the last five to eight years have come into their own with the use of better winemaking techniques and we are very excited to talk about the evolution.” —Christopher Eisenlau, Jiko
