About this tour
Learn the craft of gin distilling at a working micro distillery in the United Kingdom. Over three hours, you'll operate miniature copper stills to create your own 500ml bottle, sampling spirit profiles along the way and finishing with a gin and tonic. This hands-on workshop teaches you how distilleries function whilst producing a bottle you'll take home as a tangible reminder of the experience.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a working distillery and move straight into the practical work. The instructor will walk you through the still's mechanics before you begin your own distillation. Between runs, you'll taste various spirit expressions to understand how botanicals and production methods shape the final product. You'll design your gin's flavour profile—choosing which botanicals and techniques suit your palate—then bottle and label your creation. Throughout, you'll sip samples, a proper G&T, and a gin-based cocktail.
