Tucked away in the heart of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs, the Indaba Hotel provides more than just a comfortable stay; it offers an unforgettable experience. While many past guests remember the hotel for its tranquil gardens and welcoming atmosphere, it’s the Gin School that sets it apart. At the school, guests don’t just sip gin; they tour behind the scenes and craft their own signature bottle. Paired with the hotel’s exclusive Gin and Stay combos, Indaba Hotel turns ordinary getaways into a hands-on experience like no other.
Craft your own bottle of gin at Indaba Hotel


At the Indaba Hotel, the Indaba Gin School is a gin enthusiast’s paradise. From its regular gin tastings to expertly curated gin pairings, no activity stands out quite as much as the opportunity to personally distil a bottle of handcrafted gin. As guests embark on this unique experience, they can discover new flavours and refreshing combinations, all while gaining a broader understanding of the popular spirit.
The distillation class is a two-hour-long experience and is led by an expert gin master. During the class, while guests marvel at the art of distillation, they are encouraged to select a blend of botanicals. This selection will be used to create a bottle of gin that is not only made from scratch but will suit the guest’s tastes. At the end of every session, many guests have walked away happy with their personalised bottle of handcrafted gin.
At the end of the day, it’s a fun and hands-on experience appealing to gin lovers who are eager to create something special and tasty.
In addition to the classes, guests who step through the doors of the Gin School can partake in activities such as sampling Urbanature Gin. Proudly South African, their products are designed for adventures, having drawn influence from nature and the urban environment. Guests can also indulge in a journey of gin tasting and pairings. Here, guests sample a curated selection of gins alongside complimentary flavours. This experience is led by the gin master who will take every guest through the profile of each gin, creating a sensory adventure like no other.
Book a gin and stay combos
