Black Horse Brewery & Distillery
Black Horse Brewery & Distillery is a craft destination on the edge of the Magalies River, an hour from Johannesburg. You come here for brewery tours that end with gin tastings in the Cardinal Bar, or for meals in the restaurant that serves craft beer, gin, and hearty food. The property includes a banquet hall for weddings and conferences, with views of the Zeekoeihoek Valley.
The brewery and distillery produce artisanal beer and spirits, which you can sample during tours. The restaurant serves wood-fired pizzas and other hearty dishes, with seating under pecan nut trees. The venue hosts weddings and corporate events, with a chapel and banquet hall that overlook the brewery and distillery.
The estate is surrounded by fields where Friesian horses graze, and the Magalies River runs nearby. You can book accommodation on-site if you want to stay overnight. The venue is dog-friendly, though dogs must be kept on a leash due to the free-roaming horses and chickens.
Tours run for about an hour and a half, and bookings are essential, especially on weekends. The venue closes on Christmas Day.
