Renowned award-winning South African chef Wandile Mabaso is set to headline a standout showcase at the 2026 Barbados Food and Rum Festival, scheduled to run from November 5 to 8, on the Caribbean island widely celebrated as the region’s culinary capital. Timed to align with Barbados’ dual milestone that month: 60 years of national independence and five years of status as a republic, Mabaso’s curated dining experience will center the deep, often undercelebrated African culinary ties that bind Caribbean and African food traditions, turning shared history into a vivid, multi-sensory feast.
