2021 marks the 100th Anniversary of General Re, the 175th Anniversary of the historical Cologne Re, and the 55th Anniversary of Gen Re South Africa.

In these extraordinary times, we savour the relationships that are at the core of our success. We did not get here alone and invite you to join us as we say Thank You with flowers and a fun and delicious Savour the Flavour experience.

 

 

 

A UNIQUE "SAVOUR THE FLAVOUR" EXPERIENCE CRAFTED ESPECIALLY TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU AND SHOW OUR APPRECIATION

As Gen Re turns 55 in South Africa, we celebrate your valued contribution to us through a unique Savour the Flavour experience, to share with your loved one in the comfort of your home.

Our hosts Karen Dudley (Chef) and Higgo Jacobs (Sommelier) have put together a superb menu and selection of wines and non-alcoholic celebratory drinks for this occasion.

In the delightful video below, they show us how to pull this all together, simply and deliciously. Watching them gives you the full Savour the Flavour experience. You can almost taste of the actual deliciousness we have curated for you.

“Life is too short for the arbitrary, the mediocre, the ‘nice’. If you are going to eat something, however simple, it must be all that it is meant to be. It must be essentially good”.
Karen Dudley

“Marrying food with wine can be tricky. Not only is it entirely personal, but it’s also fluid as our tastes and preferences change during the course of our lives”.
Higgo Jacobs
