Shakespeare Distillery

An exceptional tour. An exceptionally well organised and presented tour delivered by the team at Shakespeare Distillery. They have exceptional enthusiasm for the tour and the business they are a part of. The tasting was very enjoyable at the same time as being educational. For such a young team, they are knowledge about the products they produce and the industry they are a part of. I'd highly recommend the tour. PS we took an Uber from Stratford Upon Avon which was £6 and £7 each way

Gin at it’s finest… Such an informative and interesting afternoon. We are going to book the Gin School later in the year.both the tour and gin tasting was done in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend a visit Great experience, of this family business, a superb introduction and guide through the history of gin and information on the latest trend of rum consumption. Followed by an easy to understand tour of gin processing and packaging . Then onto an interesting tasting session, from which I learned a lot of tips and knowledge about how to enjoy gin in the best way.. the standard and naturally flavoured gins were delicious

Gin making experience From the get go we were greeted and had a signature drinkThe start of the tour was a good introduction to gin making over the years Then we started to make our own gin, instructions were clear and the tour guides were on hand to advise on ingredients and always with a smile and encouragement. They pointed out parts as we were progressing and I was amazed as the gin changes flavour during the distillation process.We tried more gins and had another signature cocktail and although I might have overdone the pepper on ours the whole experience was fascinating and fantastic it’s going to be a struggle to wait for the two weeks mellowing period.I now want to go back and attempt an entirely different type of gin 😂Top marks all round

Fun, friendly and fantastic gin school experience Absolutely brilliant Gin School experience. Sam, David and the team were so knowledgeable, helpful and fun.It was a birthday present from my partner and we were accompanied by other family too.The whole experience was great from start to finish, from the history of gin to the tastings, samples and the gin-making itself, with some really useful advice from Sam.With the amount of gin, samples, tastings and the spirits we actually made, I felt it was fantastic value, while a discount in the shop on the day just added to the five-star rating.

Gin-tastic!! My wife and I attended the distillery tour on Saturday. From start to finish, it was a fun and very informative afternoon. Our guide, Sam, was brilliant!! Full of knowledge of the history of gin, and he presented it a very easy and amusing way. The tasting at the end was fantastic! This is a must experience to do if you are in Stratford upon Avon. And to top it all, the gin they produce is extremely high quality.

Very enjoyable experience Really enjoyable experience from beginning to end, would highly recommend to anyone. Very informative and the tasting was great

Great event - Highly recommended. My wife and had had a go at gin making. Great atmosphere from the start with the enthusiastic and committed team explaining in a light and humorous way the history of gin and a short talk about their own story.Then the gin making; using our own still adding botanicals and controlling the distillation temperature etc we thoroughly enjoyed creating out personal gin as part of this lively event with personal service and help where needed. A superb experience all round. We have been to other such event and this is the best. Would highly recommend this activity.

Great gin experience especially the tasting! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour - everyone made it lots of fun and certainly enjoyed learning about the gin! The tasting was great too! Would recommend this tour to all.

Fabulous Tour! When you come to Stratford a visit to this amazing distillery is a MUST! I wasn’t sure what to expect but was made really welcome by the family who run the business. It is fascinating and educational. The origins of gin and the art of tasting it in its many forms is truly amazing. I will return and cannot recommend too highly!

Would highly recommend! A fun hour spent tasting some great Gins. We enjoyed the delicious welcome drink so much, we bought one after the experience and then purchased a bottle to take home. Judith's is a quaint, beautiful building right in the heart of pretty Stratford. Interesting, entertaining and informative.

Gin school The gin school is an absolutely brilliant experience. I have now done it a number of times and it never disappoints. The staff are excellent and the whole afternoon is hugely enjoyable and great value for money. Would recommend to anyone!
