Thank you so much! Our team will be delighted with your feedback. We’d love to welcome you back on another experience soon.
It was a small group. Family run business. Very informative. No pushy sales. Excellent service. Make sure you have a gin before or after in the reception bar. Good prices and supporting the small business.

Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed and appreciated our family-run approach. It means a lot that you highlighted supporting small businesses — every visit really does make a difference. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another gin!
Great history lesson about gin, rum, Shakespeare, and alcohol in general, and a very interesting tour showing us how it's all made! and of course, loved the tasting and explanation of how it all ties together!
This was a great way to spend an afternoon with family. The tour was interesting, entertaining, and informative. The staff were all excellent, and we much enjoyed the tastings.
what an amazing time i learnt lots and my hubby got to try lots due to me not drinking cuz of driving amazing warm friendly welcome have already highly recommend to people
It was a very nice surprise for us as we had a wonderful day together Good even if you are not into gin
Excellent experience. Lovely staff. Funny and informative. Great time tasting different types of gin. Price was right, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. I even got a pep talk encouraging me to give tonic another chance.
Of note, it is outside the town, but it was easy and affordable to get there by Uber.

Thank you so much for visiting us and we're so pleased you enjoyed your experience so much.
Booked this tour as a last minute addition to our itinerary whilst stopping in Stratford, and I am very glad that we did! If gin is your thing, then do not miss this opportunity to receive an education as to the history of this beverage and the making of it. The young people at Shakespeare Distillery are incredibly enthusiastic about what they do and this really comes over during the tour.
The tour starts with a history of gin through the ages where we find out where such sayings as 'blind drunk' and 'mother's ruin' come from. Then on we go to the distillery where we are talked through the manufacture process of their small batch product. And finally, the best bit - the tasting! We were given 3 different types of gin and also a rum to sample with suggestions on how they should be served. They were all produced by the distillery and all were delightful and incredibly smooth. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who is curious to find out the difference between independent, small batch produced spirt and over produced, commercial grade spirit. clue: they don't compare!
