Create Your Own Gin in a Vintage Sidecar Workshop

What do vintage motorcycles and gin have in common? Quite a lot, apparently. Hidden inside a wonderfully quirky sidecar motorcycle depot in Woodstock, Sidecar Spirits invites you to become a gin distiller for the day. Surrounded by salvaged motorcycle parts and copper stills, you'll experiment with fragrant botanicals, create your own unique recipe and discover the art of small-batch distilling. Along the way, enjoy a few tastings, learn the secrets behind a good gin and get creative with your bottle's finishing touches. You'll leave with a personalised 500ml bottle of gin — made entirely by you.

BEFORE YOU GO
The hands-on gin-making experience takes approximately three hours and currently costs R1,300 per person. Sessions are offered in the mornings and afternoons, with individual bookings welcome, so you don't need to organise a large group. Your experience includes a welcome drink, light snacks, tastings and your own bottle of gin to take home. Advance booking is recommended. Participants must be 18 or older, and it's worth arranging transport if you plan to enjoy the tastings. (Dogs allowed - by prior arrangement)
