This past Saturday, we poured four exceptional whiskies, paired with four chef-crafted small plates, and shared it all with a wonderful table of people.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Four Drams. Four Plates. whisky tasting at Kunskombuis. Good food, good whisky, plenty of conversation, and exactly the kind of afternoon we love.

And a special thank you to everyone who helped make it happen. 🖤

Here’s a little look back at the day.

Celebrating the women who shape McGregor.

This Women’s Day, we celebrate the women whose creativity, kindness, passion and resilience help make McGregor such a special place.

From artists and entrepreneurs to winemakers, farmers, chefs, guides, therapists and accommodation hosts, women play an important role in the life of our village. Their stories are woven into every gallery, café, garden, guesthouse and small business that visitors discover here.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to spend the day, why not take a drive to McGregor? Browse local shops, enjoy a leisurely lunch, explore our gardens and galleries, raise a glass at one of our wineries, or simply spend time supporting the remarkable women behind so many of the experiences that make this village unique.

Happy Women’s Day to all the women who inspire, create and welcome us with open hearts. Here are some photos of a few of these lovely ladies.
