Opulent Living is Southern Africa’s leading coffee-table publication for the finer things in life.

As South Africa is fast becoming one of the most desirable destinations for contemporary art, enthusiasts and serious art collectors from across the globe are flocking in to discover and celebrate our local artists. An opportunity has been created through the first Opulent Living Reader Journey, to meet artist William Kentridge and sculptor Dylan Lewis as well as art collector Trent Read, to name just a few who will open their doors especially for this occasion.

A 10-day bespoke experience that includes meeting some of South Africa’s most valuable artistic gems up close has been created for discerning travellers with impeccable taste. “If you have a love for fine art, culture, gourmet food, premium wines and stylish hotels, join this exclusive cross country journey with us,” says Barbara Lenhard, Publisher of Opulent Living magazine, Southern Africa’s leading coffee-table publication. Participants will also enjoy world class driving, courtesy of BMW, who will sponsor the luxury cars for this once in a lifetime voyage.

Highlights of the journey, which will be led by a knowledgeable guide, include visiting South Africa’s iconic art sights ranging from the Constitutional Court’s art collection, the Kim Sacks and Goodman galleries and the private art collections at La Motte, Tokara and Delaire Graff estates. Enjoy touring the country’s scenic routes and stay at four of the most prestigious, five-star hotels, that is the Saxon in Johannesburg, Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa in Knysna, La Residence in Franschhoek and Ellerman House in Cape Town.

The adventure starts in Johannesburg on November 18 and ends in Cape Town on November 27, 2011. It can be extended with lavish exploits such as a luxury safari or golfing trip.
