This much celebrated festival brings a wide selection of local craft gins and premium international brands to one picturesque location on Saturday, 2 June 2018 at the Chris Saunders Park in Umhlanga. Here the outstretched lawns and beautiful amphitheatre will come alive with artisanal food stalls serving a variety of gourmet street food, live music from local artists and superb G&Ts.
As title sponsor of the festival, Fitch & Leedes prides itself as the understudy to greatness, accentuating the botanical character and subtle notes in hand crafted gins. Understanding the time and effort put into perfecting a premium gin, Fitch & Leedes tonics are made for the utmost purity in terms of quality and taste to ensure the best representation of what was intended by the master distiller.

“We are very excited to return to KwaZulu-Natal as headline sponsor of the Gin and Tonic Festival. At Fitch & Leedes, it is our philosophy that the hard work and skill of the distiller should be amplified and celebrated. With this in mind, our range of mixers are delicately carbonated and finely balanced to ensure the flavour nuances in the gin are the hero of the G&T experience,” explains Brand Manager James Shaw.
Let this superb range of mixers take you back to an era when things were still made with the utmost care and craftsmanship. Inspired by the intrepid gentlemen merchantmen of London, Ralph Fitch and William Leedes, who set sail on De Tyger in 1583 in search of new, exotic tastes in India and the East, Fitch & Leedes speaks of the romance and integrity of a bygone age. There are seven timeless classics: Club Soda; Indian Tonic and Indian Tonic sugar free; Ginger Ale; Bitter Lemon and Bitter Lemon Lite; Lemonade; Pink Tonic and Pink Tonic sugar free; and the newest addition to the range, Craft Cola and Craft Cola sugar free.
