Craft Gin Distilling Workshop with The Distillers Union

Hosted at the spacious Soute Studio, Salt River (home of Food Jams), we meet the Distillers Union Team (founders of Woodstock Gin & Fiery Dragon Ginger Beer).

Touch, taste and smell locally foraged botanicals & spices, and mull over your own favourite gin flavours. We'll talk you through a variety of flavourings and guide you in your selection of ingredients to create your personal recipe.

Our copper distillery stations fit two people, each with its own miniature copper still. As your gin drips gently through the still, there's time to relax and share a cup of something with your fellow alchemists before blending, measuring and bottling your individually crafted gin.

The resulting bottle of gin will be yours to name, take home and generally show off about. Sharing is, of course, up to you.

What is included:

a gin distilling information booklet

a personalized 500ml bottle for each guest to take home

beverages (alcoholic & non-alcoholic) & pintxos (Spanish tapas per guest)

What Guests Say:

"I got this experience for my dad for Father’s Day and couldn’t go myself. This is the review from my parents: We were initially reluctant to attend this Gin tasting as we were extremely exhausted. To our surprise, this turned out to be the highlight of our Cape Town weekend. Our guide, Roy, quickly took us through the history of the gin-making and we were then served amazing cocktails with their own gins and rum. Warren who is one of the partners took us through the distillery and taught us how gin is made. Afterwards, we actually made our own bottles of gin! What an amazing experience. We’d highly recommend the Workshop and to anyone wishing to experience gin making. - Tshepang
