Ginologist

Lourensford Estate is home to quite a few exciting spots, from the fantastic Abru Brewery and car museum to the incredible wine-tasting experience. Now, it also houses the Ginologist, a gin cocktail bar that fits in perfectly.

The Ginologist occupies its own private little corner on the estate. The outdoor seating area is inviting, with low lawn chairs and blankets for seating, umbrellas providing much-needed shade, and small tables to rest your drinks on – creating a charming garden picnic vibe. Inside, the space is cozy, with floral accents and a striking marble bar. While the indoor area is intimate, the true magic happens outside. On Friday nights, a live band often sets the mood, making for a wonderfully enjoyable evening.

The menu at The Ginologist showcases their gins beautifully, offering both a gin tasting and a gin pairing experience, where you can explore their incredible gins alongside carefully selected food items. They also have a creative cocktail list and a variety of classic Gin and Tonic options. If you’re in the mood for a snack, Ginologist offer a cheese board and a charcuterie board. If you’re craving something more filling, you can grab a delicious pizza from the neighboring restaurant and enjoy it on the lawn under your umbrella.

We believe The Ginologist is a fantastic addition to the Lourensford Estate. While it shines as a summer spot, it can be enjoyed all year round. Next time you’re in the area, we highly recommend stopping by one of the best Distilleries in Cape Town.
