Experiences

Highly recommend a visit This distillery is well worth a visit. The staff are very friendly and the gin and rum delicious.

Fantastic Rum Tasting Experience Thoroughly enjoyed the rum tasting experience. Our host Katherine was incredibly informative, funny and kept the guests entertained. The experience is relatively short, around an hour long, but I found that length of time to be sufficient. Definitely would recommend to anyone interested in how rum is made etc.

Great experience Excellent information and welcoming, friendly approach. The tour of the family run small distillery was very interesting and all questions were competently answered. Each person on the tour could choose the gins or rums that they wished to taste with some intriguing explanations of the botanicals. Great to have a gin of your choice at the end of the experience too.

Gin your & tasting experience- great day out Sam was very knowledgeable giving us a history of gin through the ages & explaining the distilling process at the family run distillery. The tour & tasting experience was excellent & Sam made it fun & interesting.Definitely worth a visit if you like gin or rum.

Great tour and tasting Great experience. Both Claire and Jack were informative and good banter. Great to taste gins and rums not tried before.Good you could buy products from shop with discount and a potential refill at discounted price.Well worth a visit but get yourselves an uber so you can enjoy the moment!!

An excellent experience and afternoon out A fantastic afternoon out if you love gin. This experience was bought for me as a gift and I'd love to do it all over again. The Shakespeare Distillery team were excellent - very knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly. It was a great experience to design and name our gin, with advice from the team. The gin flowed all afternoon and is delicious! Couldn't resist the lure of the shop - but money well spent! Hopefully will be back!

Informative, friendly and good fun The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is not a big distillery, and the group wasnt large, so you got to ask many questions and got informed answers. The gin & rum are really nice, and you could try many. The knowledge displayed was very good, not a tour guide, but the staff of the distillery itself

Brilliant experience! My son and I really enjoyed the experience and the tasting session afterwards topped it off! Sam and Jack were brilliant and very interesting to listen too.

Gin Treat Went with my daughter, we had a lovely day, very interesting and informative, we were a little early, so sat and had a coffee and snack.The gins are taste amazing, lovely gift shop to treat yourselves at the end

Now I feel like a rum expert! Absolutely amazing experience!This was a Christmas present and it surpassed all expectations by far! An excellent afternoon spent with enthusiastic owners who absolutely loved the business they were in. Thoroughly entertaining and informative and to come out slightly tipsy after the afternoon was an unexpected outcome. The experience was very generous and we had many laughs along the way, with the staff who were passionate about, and absolutely loved the products they were promoting. Definitely recommend 100% to everyone! Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful experience

Tasting Tipples at Stratford Distillery This experience had been gifted to us for Christmas, and we must have been keen, as we arrived 30 minutes early, but were warmly welcomed and guided to the bar, where some of our party enjoyed a pre-tour drink. We were then informed and entertained on the origin and history of gin, before heading to the distillery to be talked through the whole process, before sampling the products and enjoying a full drink of our choice.I can't recommend this tour enough. It was very well put together, really interesting and informative, delivered in a light hearted engaging way that we all enjoyed. The hardest part was to decide which bottle to take home from the gift shop.Thank you for a great afternoon.

Great gin experience! Gin experience was great fun! Super venue in centre of Stratford, beautiful old building. Our host had lots of knowledge about the history of gin, the process involved etc. She was very friendly and kept us entertained for the hour. Lovely flavoured gins to sample with different mixers. Really recommend this experience

Immaculate tour! Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Having been bought this experience as a gift, we had no idea what to expect. We loved the history of gin and rum (only knowing about whisky previously) and loved to see how a small business has grown so successfully. The passion of the staff was abundant and we have recommended to friends and family to visit. Of course the tastings were also a highlight, particularly the elderflower and quince gin! Thanks so much and best of luck for your continued growth and success.

Excellent gin tasting experience A brilliant 2 hours. Great location within easy reach to Stratford Upon Avon. Well laid out tour. All three guides were enthusiastic, entertaining, knowledgeable and friendly. We have been on a couple of other gin tasting tours, this was definitely the most informative, inspiring and enjoyable. The highlight was the gin tasting and we learned a lot. All the guides were happy to answer any questions and nothing seemed too much trouble for them. Please visit you will not regret it. 5* highly recommended.

Great Birthday Present Had an amazing time making gin. Staff were great, a very enjoyable afternoon tasting and making gin. What is not to like.
