Distil your own gin

Ever wondered what goes into creating a really good gin? At Unit43 Distilling Co., you can become a gin maker for the day. Guided by master distiller Jason, explore the fascinating world of botanicals, experiment with different flavours and work together to create your very own gin recipe. Then comes the exciting part: distilling, bottling and labelling your creation. Along the way, enjoy a guided tasting, cocktails and delicious grazing platters. It's part science experiment, part creative adventure — and you'll leave with a bottle of gin you helped make yourself.

BEFORE YOU GO
This is a group experience, not an individual drop-in workshop. Gin-making sessions accommodate groups of 8–24 people and take approximately 4–4.5 hours. The current price is R1,395 per person, including the distilling experience, tastings, a cocktail, food and a bottle of your group's gin to take home. Private sessions must be arranged in advance. Participants must be 18 or older. Consider arranging a lift or Uber if you're planning to enjoy the tastings.
