Who knew gin was so entertaining!
Wasn't expecting the experience to be so good to be honest. The owners are funny, engaging, and full of interesting facts, you will learn alot and taste some gorgeous gins along the way. It turned out to be an expensive day, as we could not leave without a couple of bottles! In for a good Christmas this year.

Fantastic Experience
The tour of the Shakespeare Distillery was excellent, both in content and value for money. The visit was a gift for me, I took my husband, who does not either drink or have any interest in gin, he absolutely loved it. The history of gin, the explanation of the process was brilliant. The staff were interesting and knowledgeable. An excellent tour and highly recommended.

Very enjoyable experience
We had a really enjoyable couple of hours at the Shakespeare Distillery. Very informative talk about the history of gin and then about their own production methods. The tasting session was fun and learnt a lot about mixers and flavours.

Brilliant - highly recommended
Had a fab time on the gin tour at the Shakespeare Distillery. All the staff were very friendly, and knowledgeable, and the venue is clean, inviting and well laid out. We started with a lighthearted but very informative 20 minute talk about gin, followed by a tour of the distillery. Finally came the gin tasting. Got to try some of their gins, and the spiced rum, each with a different mixer to match - make sure you go by taxi! And we got 10% off in the shop. Highly recommended.

A very informative and well planned visit
The building is very well set out with a small cafe where you start the tour. Our host was very informative in a friendly way. Then you get to see their 3 stills and small packaging area. Finally its to the gin school to taste a couple of samples. Worth a visit if you like gin.

Anniversary Gin Tour
Very well organised Gin tour and my wife and I really enjoyed it. It's great to be able to taste some of the Gins after learning about the origins and how it's made. Selecting the right mixer and quantity of Gin to mixer was interesting and made experiencing drinking the Gin even better

gin distillery tour and tasting
The staff were friendly and engaging. They gave a shared overview of the history of gin making and the birth of their distillery. We were then taken to another section to learn about both the distilling and bottling processes. Then on to a gin tasting session trying 3 of their gin range and finishing with a full gin and tonic of a fourth of your choice. Informative, interesting and great value for money. I would highly recommend this as a fantastic gift package for anyone who likes gin!

Super Gin adventure
My wife and I were bought the Gin Tour as a Christmas present and we had to postpone our original visit due to COVID-19. Having now completed our tour we can honestly say that we had the best time ever and learnt so much as to how you should serve a gin properly. The staff at the venue were brilliant and very professional. We came away wanting more.

Great gin experience
Treated our friends to a gin experience and we all loved it. Interesting info about how gin is made. Would of liked to see more of the distillery instead one room as I guess because they were doing building work and moving things around but it was a very short tour. But the tasting was excellent. 3 different types of gin to taste and they explained which tonics to pair it with. And your own gin and tonic as well. Very friendly staff and knew their stuff.

Informative and entertaining tour
This is a good, well managed tour of a small but growing distillery. An explanation of the history of gin and its variants; a viewing of the stills and bottling at work; and a guided tasting. Easy to find, pleasant environment, took about 1.5 hours. And bought a bottle!

GREAT EXPERIENCE - WOULD RECOMMEND
The Gin distillery tour and tasting experience for 2 was both enjoyable and informative. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, yet professional throughout the entire 90 minutes. The welcome drink on arrival was lovely touch, after a long journey. The premises and facilities were spotless, chic and stylish and the staff have extensive knowledge of all aspects of the gin history and its distillery process and presented their knowledge expertly. A thoroughly enjoyable experience overall.
