✨ An Enchanted Evening of Gin, Gastronomy & Witchcraft Awaits ✨

The cauldrons are bubbling once more…

This June, The Witches’ Brew Craft Gin summons you to a spellbinding evening of flavour, fire, botanicals, and indulgence at the legendary Apollo’s Taberna et Mixtarium in Linden - one of Johannesburg’s most extraordinary hidden gems.

Step into a realm where ancient elixirs meet culinary sorcery, where every course is crafted with precision, passion, and just a touch of madness. Apollo’s is not merely a restaurant - it is an experience. A sanctuary of decadent food, theatrical atmosphere, rich Mediterranean-inspired magic, and unforgettable hospitality that has quickly become whispered about as one of Johannesburg’s finest dining destinations.

And for one enchanted evening only…
The Witches’ Brew takes over the table. 🌙🍸

🔮 The Gathering

📍 Apollo’s Taberna et Mixtarium - Linden, Johannesburg
🕯 Saturday, 20 June 2026
⏰ 17:00 – 20:00
✨ Please arrive early… the magic begins the moment the first elixir is poured.

⚠️ This event is strictly for witches and warlocks aged 18 years and older.

And yes…
🧙 Nothing is wrong with arriving in your finest witch’s hat.

🍸 The Elixirs & The Feast

Four magical pairings.
Four culinary rituals.
One unforgettable evening.

🩸 Pairing One
Bloody Belladonna - dangerously seductive and mysteriously smooth, layered with dark botanical intrigue and forbidden charm.

🍽 Paired with:
Soup Gazpacho & Large Biltong Ravioli

🍂 Pairing Two
Autumn Balance - soft, elegant, and comforting, balancing orchard fruit, floral whispers, and woodland warmth into perfect seasonal magic.

🍽 Paired with:
Apple Pear Chamomile Salad with Chamomile & Elderflower Dressing

🌿 Pairing Three
Rosemary Brite - luminous and herbaceous, where rosemary, mandarin, and hibiscus dance together in glowing harmony.

🍽 Paired with:
Rosemary Pork Belly with Candy Mandarins

🔥 Pairing Four
Fire Horse 2026 - bold, untamed, and blazing with cinnamon spice and fiery spirit. A wild gallop through smoke, warmth, and sweetness.

🍽 Paired with:
Cinnamon Spice Apple Tart with Chocolate Sauce

🧙 About The Cause

This enchanted gathering has been created in support of an amputee - because true magic is not only found in flavour, but in community, kindness, and lifting one another through difficult journeys.

Every ticket helps make a difference. 🌙

🌙 Why You Cannot Miss This

This is not just dinner.

This is a theatrical ritual of flavour.
A gathering of witches, gin lovers, food fanatics, and curious souls.
A night where culinary mastery and botanical alchemy collide beneath candlelight and conversation.

✨ Witch hats encouraged.
✨ Friends highly recommended.
✨ Seats are limited.
✨ Tickets disappear frighteningly fast.

Do not wait until the cauldron runs dry.

Gather your coven, secure your table, and prepare for a night Johannesburg will be talking about long after the final spell is cast. 🍸🔥🌿

This is a not-to-be-missed occasion.

Tickets available on Webticket.
