Great fun! A really interesting and fun couple of hours. Learnt lots from all the team. It’s an impressive set up and they are rightly proud of all they have achieved. Oh and the gin and rum aren’t bad either

Excellent What a fantastic team of dedicated gin masters, who not only produce the gin but share their enthusiasm in producing an artisan product. Humour abounds, and the drink portions are not small. Whether you enjoy gin, vodka or rum learning how it is made is only half the story. Well recommended.

Gin tasting at Judith's We went on the gin tasting experience at Judith's in the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon as part of a day out in the town (rather than the distillery tour which we'd now like to go to another time). It was very informative including various tips on making & drinking your gin drinks - ice, mixers, other additions, proportions - as well as being a lot of fun (special mention to our host/guideTara here) and good value for money. We would highly recommend it.

Great fun on a girls weekend away! Went with friends on a girls weekend. We all had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the experience from start to finish.The whole team are really good fun, but incredibly knowledgeable too, whilst being sustainable. We were all impressed, left us wanting more, so we're going to back and and do a direct gin experience next time!

A must do for gin lovers My wife and I did the Gin school. The staff were really informative and fun. The gin creating was fascinating and the whole experience was well thought out. They had different tastings that were carried out during the down time which meant the whole day felt really well paced. Would reccomend staying nearby and cabbing in as the cocktails on offer were all delicious, however none alcohol drinks were substituted in for us drivers :) Well worth the money and a rdccomend to all gin lovers

Gin School - hic!! This was a birthday gift and we had an amazing time. All the staff are knowledgeable (but don’t take themselves too seriously) and gave lots of advice on making our own gin.I’ve never been to a gin or wine experience where we’ve drank so much while making our own drink!Taxi (or walk back to town, as we did) is definitely recommended.Thanks guys, we had a great time and will definitely be back.

Well worth a visit Extremely interesting and enjoyable visit. Claire, David and Jack made us feel very welcome and explained their individual roles within the production of their gin.The tour was followed by the tastings which we also enjoyed. The gin is really nice Well worth a visit.

Stunning way to spend a Friday afternoon! I cannot praise this company enough! We attended the gin school on Friday and had such a giggle from start to finish. All the staff were amazing funny knowledgeable, but special thanks to Claire for making the afternoon what it was, even if it was to take the mic out of my sweet lemonade preferring taste buds! Highly reccomended paying the extra to do the gin school over the tour. The end product that we got to take home was good quality, extra mile with the labels and boxes etc etc. I will most definitely be back again for more pineapple! Don't hesitate to book, it's amazing!P.s. try the blood orange soda!

Absolutely brilliant experience Received this as a gift, and it was the best experience! We were thoroughly entertained and educated about gin, got to taste LOTS (amazing to be greeted with a huge G&T waiting for you), and thoroughly enjoyed making our own gin. You are given plenty of advice on what to add depending on what you like, while enjoying a gin cocktail, and then another G&T of your choice, and then gin tastings! We hadn't realised we'd be drinking quite so much, so definitely recommend booking a taxi (we had to leave our car overnight). Hearing how the distillery started, and their passion as a small, almost entirely, family business, is inspiring. But overall this was just so much fun. Looking forward to buying some vouchers for friends.
