Sundowners, Drinks & Dinner: Gin Fridays at Vineyard Hotel

There are few better ways to kick off the weekend than with a crisp gin in hand, a view of Table Mountain’s eastern slopes, and the slow, unbothered charm of a tortoise wandering by.

Welcome to Gin Fridays at the Vineyard Hotel—a light, leisurely tasting experience set in one of the most beautiful garden patios in Cape Town.

On select Fridays—9 May and 23 May, to be exact—the Garden Lounge & Patio hosts complimentary gin tastings from 17:00 to 19:00, featuring the handcrafted botanicals of Six Dogs Gin.

  • It’s floral, it’s fresh, and it’s poured just for restaurant guests enjoying a meal. All you have to do is book a table, sit back, and sip.

The setting? Pure relaxation. With the eastern slopes of Table Mountain as your backdrop and a menu full of Asian-inspired small and large plates (think flavour-packed mains with modern twists), it’s the kind of place where time stretches out—and you don’t mind one bit.

So if your Friday plans could use a little upgrade, Gin Fridays at the Vineyard Hotel are calling. Delicious food, great company, a beautiful view, and a gin tasting on the house? That’s a Friday well spent. Just don’t forget to book—spots are limited, and tortoises wait for no one.
