SMOOTH JOURNEYS AND CRAFTED EXPERIENCES UNITE IN ELGIN VALLEY, PRESENTED BY CASTLE DOUBLE MALT
From Cape Town’s vintage rail tracks to the heart of Elgin’s artisanal food culture, the Extra Smooth Express brings a celebration of music, travel, and connection. Limited tickets available.
On Saturday, September 20th, a luxury vintage train will roll out of Cape Town carrying music legends TKZee, Afro-soul star Ami Faku, and celebrated jazz talent Jay Sax on a one-of-a-kind journey. The destination: Elgin Valley, where the iconic Elgin Railway Market will transform into a hub of sound, taste, and style.
Guests will step into a luxury vintage train experience, where every detail evokes the golden age of travel – from roaming conductors and a live saxophonist to curated entertainment designed to set the mood for the day ahead. A rich palette of lush greens, soft creams, and deep mahogany blends timeless elegance with contemporary artistry, creating an atmosphere as layered and smooth as the beer itself.
As the train winds its way out of Cape Town, passengers will be treated to sweeping views of the Cape Floral Kingdom, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Rolling hills, dramatic mountain ranges, and pristine natural beauty set the stage for what awaits: a vibrant cultural celebration in Elgin Valley, renowned for its artisanal food culture and historic charm.
Headlining the event is iconic kwaito group TKZee, whose era-defining hits like Shibobo and Dlala Mapantsulacontinue to influence generations of South African music fans. They will be joined by one of the country’s most compelling contemporary voices, Afro-soul powerhouse Ami Faku, celebrated jazz talent Jay Sax, and DJ Loyd — a lineup that bridges eras, genres, and audiences.
For those seeking an even deeper connection to the craft, the Brew Master’s Experience offers an exclusive guided tasting that explores the innovation behind Castle Double Malt’s signature flavour. This experience gives guests a rare glimpse into the artistry of blending two premium malts to achieve unmatched smoothness – the perfect toast to a day dedicated to travel, taste, and sound.
