Gallery Location / Avontuur Wine Estate, Stellenbosch: In collaboration with The Drunken Horse Gin, Belgium

The journey to our latest gallery set on the tranquil wine and stud farm of Avontuur is paved with the copper bricks of synchronicity, friendship and alchemy.

An antidote to the overwhelming, over-stimulating ways of the city, arriving at Avontuur is a relief to the senses. Rambling roses, farm lakes, horses, the quietude of generational trees and an oasis of calm guide your path to our new gallery tucked away from the troubles of the world.

Alchemy is the guiding process for our latest scary polony gallery cocktail. Set inside the working gin distillery of the internationally award winning Drunken Horse Gin, a visit to our freshest polony portal will nestle you in calm, satiate your senses, douse your palate with a taste of the exotic  and fulfil your basic human need for Art.

Our friendship with the partners of this unique, iconic Belgian gin brand began on New Years Eve, 2021 at a festival in the Karoo. The overarching search of a night sky littered with billions of stars, a dancefloor in a mountain canyon and a natural pool dotted with flamingo and swan floats were the backdrop to the first taste sensation of the Drunken Horse Gin.

When the mouth-numbing effect of Timut citric pepper, only found in the sacred mountains of the Himalayas, hit the palate of one of the partners in scary polony upon being poured from a completely unique slanted glass bottle, laced with copper and Yves Klein blue labelling - a transformation occurred.

The guiding process of alchemy is our formula and friendship our foundation.

Indeed, we never imagined that from our seemingly random meet at a New Years festival we would conjure an Art Gallery inside a Gin Distillery on a Stud Farm. But, such is the luck of synchronicity and the love of friends.

We can't wait to host you, your family and your crew in the lush valley setting amidst the Helderberg Mountains of the Western Cape, that is Avontuur Wine Estate.

A Drunken Horse gin tasting to heighten your senses and submerge your palate in taste waves of grapefruit, lime, lemongrass, cardamom, coriander and timut pepper is our order of the day, all while observing the brush-tail ends of our selected artists' palettes.

Immersing yourself in the joy of the day and the happiness of this life is our Avontuur adventure.

Our latest curated Art collection inside The Drunken Horse Distillery and Tasting Room reflects a diverse array of periods and places depicting the connection  between Europe and Africa, both from the past to the present, curated in a contemporary manor, placed in a period farm setting, with an emphasis on the atmospheric and surreal, and Dadaist whit and humour, yet still challenging pertinent topics from the past, present and future.

A wonderful environment to purchase and invest in both masters and up and coming artists.  An environment which will encourage local artists to exhibit alongside the likes of Rembrandt and Dali without the snobbery of a high end white cube gallery or the intimidation of a starchy museum.

 Come hang where the cool kids come to culture... we're not horsing around!
