POLO&LUXURY Magazine

14 November 2019

Dear Readers, anyone that spends most of their time in Cape Town, South Africa, is certainly not a friend of winter temperatures. We are no exception! And yet to miss out on the Snow Polo World Cup in St. Moritz is unthinkable for us. A true polo enthusiast cannot resist the unique flair when the winter sun glistens over the snowfield of the frozen Lake St. Moritz and the polo teams deliver thrilling duels. For the first time the Turkish businessman Kutlay Yaprak takes up his duties as the captain of the ‘de Grisogono’ Team. We meet with him for an interview. But before we dare to put on our winter clothes, we will write about the top summer tournaments in Europe. Our journey starts in Gstaad, continues with the Queen’s Cup and finishes strong with the Triple Crown tournaments in France. Cloning horses has become a very profitable but not undisputed business which has been proven by the one and only Adolfo Cambiaso in an impressive manner. We take a look behind the scenes. In our investment section, we introduce you to the upcoming lifestyle and equestrian resort Darling Green (including polo) at the doorstep of Cape Town. And our gourmets will not miss out either! We write about our experience at the Villa René Lalique and their restaurant Gault & Millau which has been awarded 2 Michelin stars as well as a report on the many delicious variations of tiramisu. We will also have a critical look at the not so animal-friendly production of the world’s most expensive coffee. Lastly, we will visit Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia, and the Ranthambore National Park in India. Two breathtaking travel destinations as our highlight of the Coffee-Table Book.
