If you like gin or rum - do this tour What a great tour. Everyone was so welcoming and very informative. So lovely to see a real small family run business doing so well. The tour was interesting and lasted about half an hour and then we had the tasting session. Again we learned so much about how to drink gin and how much tonic and ice to put in etc. we tried 2 flavours of gin and either a rum or another gin. Then we got a choice of a long drink. Great value for money and a really great experience.

Best Experience I have been on This was the best experience I have been on for a Gin tour. The cost was so reasonable and great value for money. To cater for children meant that we could do a whole family day. The length of tour was perfect and the size of participants meant that you were not too crowded. It was such a great atmosphere, very informative and the staff was so friendly. Would highly recommend

Educational and great fun Educational and fun. The tour is carried out by people involved in the process and they are extremely knowledgeable. The science and technology involved in producing gin and rum is fascinating and clearly explained. The tasting/drinking session was excellent

Gin tasting river cruise This was a birthday present from colleagues - it was a lovely evening to be on the river. The host was passionate about the products and gave a good solid introduction to each taster and the final drink. The souvenir glass was a lovely touch.
