A treat for gin lovers - I took my best friend to celebrate her big birthday. We didn't really know what to expect but we were not disappointed! Our host was very knowledgeable and passionate about the gins and made us all feel relaxed and welcome. It was very interesting to hear about the history of gin and the journey of Sky Wave Gin. The tasting was the best part of course and we loved all the gins on our table. Don't forget to eat a hearty breakfast/lunch before you go!!

On the doorstep gin experience - Being on our doorstep and loving their gin we were lucky enough to have a distillery experience as a gift. Helen warmly welcomed us and along with the other guests we were treated to a quick history of how Sky wave came about. Several measures later we stayed on to sample the cocktails made by Joe, lovely sunny day and a great way to end an informative experience

Highly recommended. - This is the second time I’ve been gin tasting and it’s been amazing both times. They’ve upgraded their bottles and distiller since our last visit so it’s been nice to see the business grow. It really is a fantastic gin, great location and I love the new bottles! We had a great time.
