The Experience

Shakespeare Distillery is the only working distillery in Stratford-upon-Avon, and the tour takes you through the production floor to see how gin actually gets made. You'll learn the history of gin and walk past the ingredients—the distillery draws from Tudor herb gardens to flavor its award-winning Stratford Gin, so you're seeing the actual botanicals that go into the bottles. The tour is led by a live guide in English and runs 90 minutes total.

After the walkthrough comes a tutored tasting of at least 3 Shakespeare Distillery spirits, finishing with a Gin & Tonic. This is not a quick pour-and-go; the guide walks you through each one so you understand what you're tasting and why the flavors land the way they do. You also get 10% off anything you buy in the distillery shop on the same day if the tour sparks a purchase.

The distillery is fully wheelchair accessible, and service animals are welcome. Public transportation options are available nearby if you're not driving. Children from age 8 can join, and the tour suits all fitness levels—you're standing and walking at a comfortable pace, not hiking or climbing.
