Event information
The James Sedgwick Distillery in Wellington is proud to be the only commercial whisky distillery in Africa. Visitors can witness first-hand how the whiskies are crafted through the various stages from raw material to distillation and maturation. The Distillery offers tours and tastings.
Distillery Tours:
Join us for intimate tours on selected Fridays and Saturdays at 10h00 and 14h00. Allowing 20 guests at a time, the tour starts with a welcome drink and introduction to the distillery followed by a tour of the entire whisky making operation – from raw materials all the way to the maturation cellars. The day’s experience concludes with a whisky tasting and the opportunity to purchase the whiskies of your choice.
Whiskey Tastings:
Bespoke whisky and sample dish pairings include crisp apple chips, smoked beef, smoked salmon or snoek, and sweet pairings of 70% dark chocolate mousse and pumpkin pie expertly paired with Bain’s, Three Ships Whisky Bourbon Cask Finish, and Three Ships Whisky 5 Year Old Premium Select. Each food paring perfectly fits the distinctive flavour profiles of the whiskies.
