Shakespeare Distillery, Stratford-upon-Avon

After years of dragging my better half around dozens of whisky distilleries, I thought it was about time to treat her to a Gin tour. Brownie points for me. Excellent tour and loved the family set up. Very knowledgeable staff, friendly and engaging. Nice coffee / Gin bar to get comfy whilst you wait for the tour to start. Tasting session at the end of the tour was far more generous than any I've experienced at previous distilleries. Will definitely be back.

We visited yesterday for the gin distillery tour, we enjoyed every moment of it! The staff were super engaging from the moment we walked through the door. The gins are amazing and the information provided by the staff is very informative! Unfortunately we were driving so took our selected gins home. We've always struggled with gin glasses having not being a fan of the massive standard fish bowls so we treated ourselves to the Shakespeare glasses, and they're much better! We're now looking to buy some vouchers for our friends to go along. Would highly recommend taking a visit!

We did the gin tasting tour. It was superb. Harvey, Claire, Dave and Jack were excellent hosts. It's a quick (but fascinating) history of gin, followed by a quick tour of the small premises, then the best part is the tasting, where we were each given around 4 gins to taste. It was a thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours made even better by the staff! If you are planning to drink at the tour, walk there (along the busy A46!) or better still get a taxi. See pics

My husband gave me the gift of making Gin for my birthday...... it was a mixture between a boozy night out, a chemistry lesson and hogwarts..... the staff were all amazing but a big shout out for Sam that was helping us to ensure our Gin recipe tasted yummy, he knew his Gin related stuff and was just generally a lovely guy. I would highly recommend the Gin school experience and expect we will be back for the cocktail masterclass at some point!

Fantastic knowledgeable history of gin in Britain from 400 years ago. Great distillery tour and gin tasting at the end, followed by a large favourite of the visitor's choice. This tour is well recommended, you won't be dissapointed.
