How GlamFoodie Became A Fine Dining Platform That Caters To A Niche Clientele. GlamFoodie was conceptualised by a sassy, 30-something foodie enthusiast, who understands the importance of providing a particular service to a niche clientele won are particular about their cuisine. Charmaine Ramalope, thus decided to host a bi-quarterly event entitle, “Wine & Dine” at the most affluent venues, in the hopes to attract aspiring fine dining enthusiasts with a taste for the finer things. This proved to be a success as she has collaborated with some of SA’s (and the world’s) most respected chefs, hospitality partners and esteemed winemakers. Not to mention partnering with the leading food and beverage brands, hotels and restaurants.
