Dubbed ‘DV Gin Nero’, which translates to ‘Black’ in Italian, this unique gin has been carefully crafted and bottled exclusively for the DaVinci Hotel & Suites by none other than the award-winning The Johannesburg Distilling Company.

Guests will have the pleasure of enjoying this exquisite spirit from the comfort of the hotel’s lounge/bar, or they can take a piece of the experience home by purchasing a bottle as a cherished keepsake of their time spent in the vibrant city of Johannesburg.

Andrew van Hasselt, the General Manager of the DaVinci Hotel & Suites, shares the inspiration behind the creation of DV Gin Nero.

We wanted a story guests could take home with them and share with family and friends on their return. The black gin is the first of its kind in Joburg, and the beautiful bottle can even be repurposed as a décor item back home.
