A wholesome way to connect with and thank clients - We hosted our clients at the most magical venue - the secret gin bar - learning about the history of gin and practicing the art of making our own cocktails together. The non-alcoholic options were flavourful so everyone could take part. Great memories were made!

Superb evening of gin and cocktails! - We were invited by friends to this experience and we had the most wonderful time! The 3 gins in the guided tastings were all locally sourced and of the highest quality. The history and background to the gins was very interesting too. Everyone had a chance to mix a couple of cocktails with some expert advice and combined with some nibbles, this rounded out the whole experience into a great evening. The best gin tasting I’ve been to by a long shot.

Fun & Unique Activity - My friends and I had the most amazing time at this mixology experience. Kennan was an amazing host and very knowledgeable about the history of Gin. He taught us how to make some amazing cocktails and made a Gin lover out of us all. I also loved the hands on experience of the class. Not only did we get to taste great drinks made by him, but we got to make some ourselves. Would definitely recommend as an out-of-the-box activity to try while in Cape Town.

The Basil Gin cocktail and History of Gin - It was a fun and informative experience. Very social and interactive. Kennan’s knowledge of gin and cocktails was amazing. And I will most definitely be recreating the Basil Gin cocktail again.
