Well worth a visit - Helen our host was very knowledgable. We learned about Sky Waves rise to an award winning Gin. We were talked through and shown the distillery and tasted a few lovely gins. It felt like a personal experience as there were only 12 of us. It was an enjoyable and interesting visit.

What a hoot! - Due to rugby final taking place myself and my friend had a private tour & tasting which was thoroughly enjoyed. Helen, giving the talk was very warm, friendly and knowledgeable person, who greeted us with a lovely smile and didn't rush us out of the door at the end of the event. Superb gin with interesting talk, you'd be a fool leaving without a bottle!

An amazing Gin experience - For a non Gin drinker I was a bit sceptical but there was no need. The tour itself was really informative and our guide Helen was able to answer all of our questions no matter how obscure. The Gin tasting was a revelation and the Gin's themselves delicious. We even had the opportunity to sit and chat with Andrew the owner afterwards. I would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic gin experience & great value for money! - My family and I had a fantastic time at the Gin tasting experience. It was great to hear how they've worked hard to keep their carbon footprint low, sourcing everything as closely to home as possible. Very knowledgeable and great value for money.

Well worth a visit!! - This was a really great experience. Our guide Helen was really friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We got a g+t on arrival and then tasted 3 more gins (all lovely 😍) and it was so nice we left having bought a bottle. If you love gin, then this is the experience for you.

Thoroughly enjoyed! - We thoroughly enjoyed our Sky Wave Gin Experience! Lovely to support a small business who are producing a high quality product and have won international awards for their efforts! My only comments to improve the experience in the future would be 1) we were part of a group of 9, but I believe up to 12 can book - I am relieved we were a smaller number as 3 extra people would have been a squeeze! 2) as the designated driver of our group, I was disappointed not to have all 4 single gins that were tasted during the experience, in my driver pack when I got home - I very much enjoyed the two double shot gin and tonic’s that were given (1 x Signature London Gin and 1 x Raspberry & Rhubarb gin with 2 bottles of tonic water) but would have liked to sample the Tom Collins gin also. Regardless of these small issues, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys drinking gin and experiencing a more intimate tour of a distillery whilst supporting a small local business who deserves to do well. We will happily return to enjoy again!
