Knysna locals and Garden Route explorers, clear your calendars for 7 July 2025—because the Turbine Hotel & Spa is serving up a golden, gourmet night out that’s all about honey, harmony, and high spirits.
In partnership with the ever-creative Eden Honey Distillery, this Honey-Inspired Evening is happening at the stylish Island Café right inside the Turbine Hotel.
It’s part of the Knysna Oyster Festival, and it’s a flavour-packed celebration of local ingredients, local distilling talent, and a love for the sweet things in life.
What to expect:
🍯 A decadent 4-course tasting experience—each course paired with Eden Honey’s craft spirits
🍸 A welcome amuse bouche with Honey Rum and a “Hot Honey” Saldanha Bay oyster tempura
🧀 A rich starter of Camembert with honey caviar, fig salami & macadamia nuts, paired with Honey Brandy
🥓 A showstopping main of Harkerville Honey & Thyme Glazed Pork Belly, served with Honey Mead
🍰 And dessert? A Baklava Wildflower Honey Cheesecake Tart with pistachio nougat ice cream, perfectly matched with Honey Cinnamon Liqueur
Each sip and bite tells a story of Knysna’s natural bounty, with handcrafted honey infusions you won’t find anywhere else. It’s local, it’s luxe, and it’s laid-back enough for a proper night out without any of the fuss.
