Eswatini is preparing for upcoming lifestyle and music events centered around premium beverages. The Gin & Tonic Festival is introducing a “Cruise Style” theme, designed to function as a boutique, ocean-inspired musical voyage. The festival aims to provide a platform for local craft spirits, including brands such as Imbali, Explorers, and Shelela, while offering interactive experiences like gin tastings and botanical pairings.

Additionally, the Gin Gardens event is scheduled for October 3, 2026, at Sharma House in Ezulwini. Expected to host over 1,500 guests, the event focuses on a premium lifestyle experience combining food, music, and culture. The entertainment lineup features a mix of international and local talent, including South African artists Sino Msolo and Nia Pearl, alongside Eswatini performers such as Velemseni and DJ Tap.
