Kick things off with a refreshing drink in an iconic bottle and indulge in some tasty local treats. Uncover the ancient secrets of the Khoisan hunter-gatherers as they air-dried meat, and see how the Great Trek pioneers added the iconic spice that made South African biltong a global favourite. Dive into a mouthwatering journey with various types of biltong, including a surprisingly good vegan option! Master the art of biltong-making, from selecting the perfect cut of meat to curing and storing it, and get hands-on by preparing your biltong sticks.

Sip on a strong 'moerkoffie' (coffee) served in a rustic tin mug, paired with Soutie's homemade Karringmelkbeskuit (Buttermilk Rusk). Get ready for tall tales, snippets of history, and classic Afrikaans sayings that will spice up your conversations. Take home a sample of biltong sticks, or stock up on more snacks and Soutie’s unique merchandise.
