One-of-a-kind Gin.
By you. For you.

We had our first Gin School event earlier this year and honestly, the support blew us away.

A few lucky people learnt the art of distilling from the drunk scientist himself, Andre Pienaar. They all headed home with their very own bespoke bottle of Gin created using botanicals and flavours of their choice.

AT MAKERS LANDING - CAPE TOWN

Learn the theory of distillation and recipe development, before distilling your very own bottle of gin on our one-of-a-king glass stills.

While your gin is distilling away, you'll enjoy a tasting of the Pienaar & Son gin range accompanied by Fitch n Leedes tonic.

You will end up bottling and labelling your very own bottle of Gin and walking away with a goodie bag filled with tonic water and a 15% off voucher to the Pienaar & Son store.

*The Experience for Two offers a couple the opportunity to share the still and recipe. Both partners will receive all of the above items individually, but they will share the recipe and distillation with each other (but make twice as much), so each of their bottles of gin will essentially taste the same :)

**Due to the limited capacity of Gin School, rescheduling is possible up to 2 days before your scheduled class. A 100% cancellation fee will apply to cancellations less than 48 hours before the class.
