This November, The Singleton invites South Africa’s leading tastemakers and curious explorers to embark on a journey of sensory discovery with The Singleton Escapes — an immersive outdoor experience set against the tranquil backdrop of Nirox Sculpture Park in the Cradle of Humankind.

Taking place on 12 November, The Singleton Escapes celebrates the art of slowing down, reconnecting, and savouring life’s layered moments. Guests will be guided through a thoughtfully curated experience that engages the senses through exceptional food, music, art, and nature — each inspired by The Singleton’s timeless philosophy to “Savour the Single Moment.”

“We are inviting people to pause and rediscover the beauty of slowing down and to savour life’s layered moments with The Singleton Escapes,” says Ifeoma Ago, Marketing & Innovations Director, Diageo Africa. “This experience is about connecting with our surroundings, our habitat, and most importantly, ourselves — a reminder that true luxury lies in taking the time to appreciate life’s finer details.”

From guided tastings of The Singleton’s signature single malts to mindful spaces and creative touchpoints, every element of the day is designed to encourage intentional presence, relaxation, and appreciation. The experience welcomes everyone — from whisky connoisseurs to curious newcomers — to explore the artistry of flavour and the beauty of living in the moment.

At the heart of it all are The Singleton’s celebrated single malts: the 12-Year-Old, 15-Year-Old, and 18-Year-Old — each known for its smooth, layered complexity. Guests will enjoy guided tastings and curated food pairings that bring out each whisky’s character, from vibrant fruit notes to deep, velvety finishes.

Set amidst the serene landscape of Nirox Sculpture Park, The Singleton Escapes offers more than just an event — it’s a mindful retreat. A collective breath. A reminder to slow down, savour deeply, and rediscover the beauty in simplicity.
