Sip a bespoke cocktail at Alchemy Bar, or speak to our team about the selection of craft spirits. With close to 100 gins, and unique rums and brandies, you will be spoilt for choice. Soak up the drinks with simple but delicious bar snacks, or pop in next door to Alchemy Kitchen, our restaurant which serves all-day brunch and tapas-style small plate dishes perfect for sharing and exploration.
Step into The 'Other' Room, our cellar and retail outlet, to discover some of South Africa's lesser known and highly regarded estate wines, small independent wine makers, craft gin, rum and other spirits including our award winning Blackstrap Ginsala.
At our on-site Blackstrap Craft Distillery, we create East Coast inspired gins and rums available for tasting at the bar and restaurant.
Visit us for a unique exploration of all things craft!

Recent months have seen many wine makers visit the greater Durban area, providing an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Each shared some pearls of wisdom or reminded me of previously learnt lessons.

So the mojo behind our wine choices in The 'Other' Room is clear: we aim to bring wine lovers in our corner of the world extraordinary South African wines, introduce the pioneers who are blazing new trails, and encourage winos to challenge themselves, step out of their comfort zone and try something new.
