Life is a journey, and much like crafting a special bottle of artisanal Gin, it is full of unexpected twists, intriguing stories, and delightful surprises. Led by a Gin Master who is as passionate as they are knowledgeable, The Gin School At Indaba Hotel experience takes participants on a captivating voyage from the origins of gin centuries ago to its current widespread popularity. As you embark on this unique adventure, you will not only gain new insights but also share hearty laughter with friends over facts that seem almost too unbelievable to be true.

The Indaba Gin School understands that crafting your own Gin is much like the journey of life itself—a process with numerous important steps, each contributing to the final masterpiece.

The journey begins with the careful selection of ingredients and botanicals, where you’ll have the chance to showcase your personal taste preferences. The aromatic symphony of juniper berries, citrus zest, spices, and other botanicals tantalizes your senses as you choose the elements that will define your Gin’s character. Once your selections are made, they are meticulously added to a specially-crafted copper still, and the mesmerizing distillation process begins.

Watching the flickering flame beneath your pot-still and observing the tiny droplets of clear liquid form and gracefully fall into a collection cup is a truly enchanting experience. It serves as a reminder of the magical science behind Gin production, heightening your anticipation for that pivotal “first taste” moment. The carefully chosen botanicals release their flavours and aromas, infusing your Gin with a unique character that mirrors your personality and taste preferences.

As the distillation process reaches its culmination, a sense of accomplishment washes over you—an emotion that only intensifies when you hold the final product in your hands. Your personally hand-labelled bottle of Craft Gin is more than just a bottle; it’s a tangible testament to your creativity and dedication. This bottle, filled with the very essence of your choices, will become a cherished memento of your Gin-making journey, and it’s yours to savour at your own leisure, whether with friends, family, or colleagues.
