A fun relaxed informative tour - We start off with the history of gin and its origins
Followed by a tour of the distillery and how gin is made ,bottled and stored.
Then we all sat in the gin school where we sampled two gins and a rum
Drivers were given the option to have a zero percent gin or a sample to take home
The tickets were a good price at £10 each as it was for the distillerys 10th anniversary
There were 10 of us on this tour.
The staff were very knowledgeable and witty which made for a warm and welcoming atmosphere
The tour and tasting took about 1hr 30mins with plenty of time to purchase bottles from their shop
Overall we had a great time and would highly recommend !

Highly recommend - I visited the Shakespeare Distillery yesterday for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had such a lovely time. It felt like really good value for money and the whole experience was genuinely fun from start to finish. The interior is calm, elegant, and it all felt a bit special and fancy in the best way.
The tour itself was really well paced and easy to follow, and Sam and Jack were brilliant throughout. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything feel relaxed and enjoyable.
We both came away saying how much we’d recommend it to anyone considering a visit. A wonderful experience.

A wonderful family distillery - We absolutely loved our visit to Shakespeare distillery. The tour gave us lots of information about the origins of the distillery and how both gin and rum our created. We got to see the 3 stills which are used to create the spirits and also saw where everything was stored for ageing and packaging. We particularly enjoyed the tasting part of the tour, where we got to sample 3 spirits. We were then provided with a drink of our choice. It was a lovely day out and we would definitely recommend this to others!

Fun and intersting distillery tour with tasting - Distillery tour and tasting. Really interesting and engaging session. Very relaxed too. Bottling room was my highlight having a bit of knowledge from Whisky sessions. Gin tasting informative too - liked some , others less! But that's the point and bought lots of early Christmas gifts on the way out. Recommended !
