Connoisseurs and curious newcomers sip and savour gin selection
Centurion's Kleinkaap Boutique Hotel came alive this past weekend as gin lovers from across Gauteng gathered under the trees for the long-awaited return of Ginfest, and it did not disappoint.
After a four-year pause, it has made a bold comeback, blending premium South African gin with live music, gourmet food, and a relaxed, garden-party atmosphere.
Guests were treated to a curated selection of gins from some of the country's top craft distillers. From traditional juniper-forward styles to innovative new infusions, the event offered something for seasoned connoisseurs and curious newcomers alike. Many stalls also shared perfect pairing ideas, botanical tips, and the latest tonic trends.
Adding to the flavour was a strong line-up of local talent on stage. The crowd was kept entertained throughout the day with performances by The Two Timers, Kerry Sanssoucie, Hainrich Faber, AlterEgo, Christiaan Baartman, and Pedro Barbosa, each adding their own energy to the festive atmosphere.
Beyond the gin and music, the event fostered a true sense of community, a relaxed and joyful gathering where guests could sip, savour, dance, and reconnect.
If this year's Ginfest was anything to go by, the wait for the next one won't be long.
