The School offers visitors the opportunity to craft their own unique bottle of gin, sample gins from the leading artisanal producer in South Africa and learn more about local fynbos.

On arrival guests are greeted with a cocktail, and during the distilling process a tutored gin tasting is also presented, while you view the process in the distinctive copper pot still. Most importantly, each imaginative scholar leaves with their very own craft gin creation to take home.

Gin and food pairing are also offered daily where bite-sized canapes, created by the chef, highlight either local South African flavours or traditional meals. Lightly smoked rooibos salmon ngiri and “vetkoek” with bobotie mince and zesty spekboom chutney are already firm favourites.

The gin lounge bar is open to the public from 10h00 to 19h00, Monday to Saturday. Untutored tastings can also be enjoyed at any time.

    This was my 3rd visit, bringing overseas and local guests to the school. Unfortunately, this last time was not as good as the first two visits. Both Vernol and Ronnie are great hosts. Ronnie's session was as good as always, but someone has meddled with Vernol's session. The most fabulous part of his session was always the lesson on the various botanicals - being able to taste or smell each ingredient and being told the traditional uses of them was so exceptionally fascinating that I wanted to do it over and over. This last time we were told that they had been asked to shorten the 'lecture' and just get on with the gin making. Still a good experience as a first time for someone, but I don't think I'll be back.

    Food was not applicable but I would suggest adding light snack to the whole experience. But the event was worth it.
