Very worthwhile experience - Truly amazing experience. We felt relaxed and were welcomed with open arms.
There was a brief history of gin to start with incorporating the start up of this unique little distillery.
We moved on to the tour. It is a small distillery so moving from each process was very easy, enabling us to get to the final part of tasting the products stress free.
The tasting was quite educational too. We learnt how the gins were blended and how best served to enhance and help you appreciate the flavours.
All in all an educational and highly recommended experience.

Fantastic experience - Informative fun and felt very personal. The people who own and work the place are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly which makes you fall in love with the product just as much as they are.

Nice way to spend a Sunday lunchtime - Really interesting and informative, plus the opportunity to taste gin and rum - what’s not to like!
My only feedback is could you request that people put their phones on silent during the talk and the tour? One persons phone was constantly going off with texts or WhatsApps which was very distracting and annoying!

Great Experience a Must visit - We had a wonderful afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It’s a lovely venue, and the people were welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. We learned many interesting things and, of course, enjoyed tasting some excellent gins. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience - highly recommend! ⭐️ - We got bought a gin tasting experience as a Christmas gift and what a fantastic gift it was! We took the opportunity to make a day and night of it and stay in Stratford which is a beautiful city. The distillery itself is a small family run business and it is such a tidy setup. The staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable and we learnt some really interesting facts. There was lots of gin (and rum) on offer to try and buy. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this experience to anyone ⭐️

Excellent afternoons adventure! - Amazing experience! Completely worth the visit, extremely knowledgeable guys!
There was also a lady who we were not introduced to working in the offices but everyone deserves a pat on the back!!!
Thanks to Sam, Simon and Jake who became instant friends.. nothing to do with the TRUELY divine concoctions presented to us in the tasting room after the tour. Honest!
Go go go and then buy vouchers for all of your friends and family for the experiences on offer, well worth the price and well worth the time!!!

If you like gin - A good fun and interesting experience. - We had a great time. The presentation was interesting and fun. We learned a lot about making gin and about what makes the Shakespeare Distillery different- small batch and using locally sourced ingredients.
The tasting was fun and informative.
