Create your Own Gin at the Shakespeare Distillery Gin School with Tour and Tastings for Two
About this experience
Ever wanted to try your hand at being a distiller? Live out the dream at the Shakespeare Distillery, where you and a lucky friend can create your own gin, tour the distillery and enjoy tastings to match.
Get the lowdown on all things gin from your entertaining host as they take you through the distillery, showing you the process of creating craft gin. Sample tastings from Shakespeare Distillery’s unique selection, before entering the gin classroom and putting your expertise to the test.
Working at your shared miniature copper still, you’ll choose botanicals and distil your gin, while enjoying three G&Ts each (it’s important to keep the creativity flowing). You’ll take home one 20cl and one 50cl bottle of your own gin, complete with personalised labels and a presentation box.

“Making our own Gin - Ruby's Ruin”
Everything about our visit to the Shakespeare distillery was brilliant. Every member of staff had a brilliant attitude and obviously loved their job. Making the gin was a great experience and, having given it the recommended two weeks, the gin tastes brilliant and different. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. One tip though, get a taxi - you won't want to drive!!

“Even better than we expected!”
Myself and a friend visited the distillery last month and were so impressed! The team were so lovely and entertaining, the gin kept on coming and we took so much home with us too - not to mention what we picked up in the gift shop at the end after many gins! I’ve recommended friends come here since - it would be a great activity for a hen do! :)
“Gin School Experience”
Excellent day really enjoyed the gin making, staff were great would certainly highly recommend the experience.
