Following the launch of the Cape Town Gin Route last month, the Pepperclub Hotel & Spa has carefully curated an immersive Cape Town Gin Tour. Every Tuesday, Thursday and the first and third Saturday of the month, you can dig into the world of local artisan gins for a full-day premium gin experience.

The tour includes a hands-on-workshop, taking you through the distilling process where you’ll learn about the history of the spirit, the role of botanicals, and the best part, sipping and sampling the incredible gins Cape Town has to offer. 

Starting and ending at the Pepperclub Hotel & Spa in Loop Street, you will begin your day at 10h00 at New Harbour Distillery, before trying your hand at making your own bespoke bottle of gin. After a short stop to refuel with lunch, the tour then heads to Hope on Hopkins Distillery, followed by visits to the Woodstock Gin Company, Pienaar & Son Distilling Company in the city bowl, and finally, the Cape Town Gin & Spirits Company, before returning to the hotel at approximately 17h00.
