GT&T Great Tour and Tasting. - We were given 2 tickets for the distillery and decided use them on our Anniversary....What a great gift. We arrived early enough to purchase a drink to enjoy while Claire told us all about the history of Gin. It was great. She is very enthusiastic and witty. Then on to Gin Lane to learn about the distilling process. This will make you appreciate why cheap gins are cheap and why it's worth having good one. The guy that explained the the distilling and bottling process was very knowledgeable. ( Sorry I can't remember your name I think I might have appreciate my gin too much by then..but you know who you are so thankyou😁) On too the tasting. This was really well thought out and executed. We had a great time and would like to thank all the staff as you are so good at what you do. I would recommend this to anyone that fancies a treat or a gift for a friend. Brilliant experience. Thank you all for making our anniversary special. Deb and Mark from Yardley 🥂

Informative, fun, relaxed tour - Really informative tour - included history of gin, an insight to the processes, and of course the beloved tasting session. The gin is clearly high quality - even my non-expert taste got the clarity of the taste - though I confess it was actually a bottle of rum that I went home with...

Top tier experience! - The best distillery tour I have ever done! The hosts of the tour were super friendly and knowledgeable and really made everyone feel at home. The whole package is really good value for money as you get to taste a lot of gin (or rum) and get to enjoy a full size drink of your favourite as well receiving discount in the shop. The spiced tropical rum is probably going to be my new favourite drink - it is delicious! 100% visiting again for the gin school & may well be my new favourite brand.

Amazing tour !!!! - Fantastic tour, staff were amazing and really interesting to learn not only about the process for producing gin and rum, but also about the history of gin, also good to see behind the scenes into the packaging process The tasting session was fab, really well explained and great to get some tips on mixers, garnish and even amount of ice ! All the gins and rums we tried were amazing, and you can see how using only the best bit of the 'heart' gives their drinks such a great taste. One other point, we didn't realise that they had barista coffee to enjoy before, great way to start before the tour And they have shop but make point that you're under no obligation to buy....but once you've had a taste of their gins and rums there is no way you'll come away empty handed !!!

Fabulous Tour! - When you come to Stratford a visit to this amazing distillery is a MUST! I wasn’t sure what to expect but was made really welcome by the family who run the business. It is fascinating and educational. The origins of gin and the art of tasting it in its many forms is truly amazing. I will return and cannot recommend too highly!
