The Qbar also features a fantastic cocktail menu, with highlights such as a pink Negroni, produced using Knorhoek gins that have been blended with botanicals from the estate and distilled for them by Wilderer. Try the Quoin Rock husk spirit, made by distilling the fermented skins left over from making their vine-dried dessert wine. This spirit may be enjoyed as a digestif.
