The Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa is giving Garden Route locals a reason to make Thursday night feel a little more special.
On 18 June 2026, The Gastro Pub will host a Santa Bras Cigar and Whiskey Pairing, bringing together a refined degustation menu, premium whisky, and a guided cigar experience.
The evening begins at 18:30 with a smart-casual atmosphere and a menu designed for bold flavours.
- Guests can look forward to cured wild boar served on herb focaccia with smoked baby beetroot, garlic aioli and rocket, followed by mushroom arancini with pickled squash and truffled mayonnaise. The menu finishes with braised De Rust lamb, paired with pearl barley risotto, fresh herbs and roasted baby onions.
After the meal, guests will enjoy an Escobar Cigar Petit Corona alongside a horizontal tasting of Jameson whiskeys, presented by Annerie from Santa Bras Cigars. At R495 per person, the evening offers a polished but relaxed way to explore flavour, craftsmanship and good conversation in one sitting. It is a fitting winter outing for whisky fans, curious food lovers and anyone looking for something a little different in Knysna.
