CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

“

Working with The Thirsty Wagon™ on our Cape Fynbos Gin tastings was an absolute pleasure. They didn’t just serve drinks – they created an interactive and educational experience. They delivered meaningful brand exposure, authentic customer connections, and genuine interest in our product. Their professionalism, creativity, and passion for showcasing local craft spirits made them the perfect partner.

Over multiple tastings, The Thirsty Wagon™ created an environment where guests could appreciate the craft behind our RUM and Premium ranges. Welcome drinks, distiller-led presentations, live entertainment, social mixers and a beer-tasting stand. Guests left understanding our spirits, appreciating the quality we work so hard to achieve. That’s what you want from a partnership.

Working with The Thirsty Wagon™ on our styled photoshoot at Rosemary Hill farm’s Distillery was very fun and insightful! We couldn’t ask for a better team – you are not only very talented but also reliable. What makes them special for weddings is how they teach guests about the art behind cocktail making and how to identify the different flavors. Think about how nice a mobile bar would be at your wedding with that kind of educational experience. We actively recommend them to our brides and we’re proud partners in also developing gin tasting kits together. We would definitely recommend The Thirsty Wagon™.

The Flora on High Night Market was a curated evening event featuring food trucks, craft beer and spirits, vendor stalls, and live musical entertainment. The Thirsty Wagon™ organized and managed the entire market, bringing together quality vendors and creating a vibrant atmosphere at our nursery.

What impressed us most was their ability to transform our space into an evening destination. The food trucks they curated were top-notch, the craft beer and spirits selection showed real knowledge, and the vendor variety kept everyone engaged. The musical entertainment kept the atmosphere lively and was a partnership with people who know how to create events that actually work
