The City of Manchester Distillery, Manchester

Genuinely brilliant experience led by Pete who was a cracking host. Insight into Manchester's history, the story of gin and how Three Rivers came to be are all delivered in a really slick manner. The tour of the distillery and more details on the philosophy of the business are very interesting, there's so much more to it than you'd assume. Then the gin school, oh how I wish actual school had been this much fun! You're given free reign to put your stamp on a bottle of gin, working with a huge range of botanicals. Watching it distill brings a childlike impatience, coupled with excitement, and a short while later you're bottling up a truly unique spirit to take home & enjoy. Throughout the whole thing you'll be kept well oiled with gin-based beverages, all using Three Rivers and all excellent. So good that they even converted me from a non-gin drinker to full on enthusiast. Superb value for money, a truly Mancunian business that deserves every success that it gets.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. What a great place to visit. Knowledgeable staff, Ryan, Pete and Dave, and such passion in what they have produced. Tastings spot on and the icing on the cake is producing your own gin. Thanks very much guys.

So much fun! Some great information about gin and it's history, a walk through the creation process, a look at their gin making equipment followed by an opportunity to make your own! Copious amounts of gin and tonic provided throughout.

Excellent session learning about and making our own flavour bottle of gin. Lots of gin to drink during the evening. Recommended.

This place is amazing. So interesting to hear the story of gin..... I really never knew. Lots of lovely gin tasting throughout. The gin school, making our own was fantastic. There was a large party of us so we were a little excited and after all the gin, a little merry. One of the best times I have had. I would highly recommend a visit.
