Really informative and fun. My friend and I really enjoyed it. And of course, the gin and rum are delicious. Enjoyed it even more than I expected to.

Really interesting to hear the history of gin throughout the years but also how this company was created. The staff have brilliant knowledge and are obviously passionate about roles within the company

Such a fantastic distillery. All the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable - they make the experience even more fantastic. The tasting was BRILLIANT - such amazing products - all the rums and gins we tried were so good. Definitely want to come back for the gin school!

This was a really interesting and enjoyable tour. We learnt about the history of gin in the UK, how gin is made and bottled and then got the chance to sample the produce. Both our guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. We'd strongly recommend this tour

Lovely couple of hours spent learning about the history of gin and how they make it. Tried some gins and had a drink. Only a 10 min taxi ride outside of Stratford town centre.

A really interesting and informative tour very well run and presented by the enthusiastic staff. We learnt a lot about the process and enjoyed a variety of tastings and a god discount on our purchases at the end of the Tour! I would highly recommend this tour if you have a couple of hours to spare!

A really interesting and fun couple of hours. Learnt lots from all the team. It’s an impressive set up and they are rightly proud of all they have achieved. Oh and the gin and rum aren’t bad either 😂

Went with friends on a girls weekend. We all had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the experience from start to finish. The whole team are really good fun, but incredibly knowledgeable too, whilst being sustainable. We were all impressed, left us wanting more, so we're going to back and and do a direct gin experience next time!

An absolutely top rate experience. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this fantastic little distillery. Very interesting and informative. And the gins are fabulous.

Absolutely fab tour. We both really enjoyed it. Really lovely staff too especially Catherine, great humour. Perfectly situated down the road from our hotel. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Extremely interesting and enjoyable visit. Claire, David and Jack made us feel very welcome and explained their individual roles within the production of their gin. The tour was followed by the tastings which we also enjoyed. The gin is really nice…… Well worth a visit.

Really good fun! The two guides were really funny whilst still being really knowledgeable, we had a great time. Great fun trying all the gins and rums at the end

Received this as a gift, and it was the best experience! We were thoroughly entertained and educated about gin, got to taste LOTS (amazing to be greeted with a huge G&T waiting for you), and thoroughly enjoyed making our own gin. You are given plenty of advice on what to add depending on what you like, while enjoying a gin cocktail, and then another G&T of your choice, and then gin tastings! We hadn't realised we'd be drinking quite so much, so definitely recommend booking a taxi (we had to leave our car overnight). Hearing how the distillery started, and their passion as a small, almost entirely, family business, is inspiring. But overall this was just so much fun. Looking forward to buying some vouchers for friends.

This was a Christmas gift for me and my partner and was very enjoyable. It’s a small family run distillery and everyone is very enthusiastic about the products they produce. Lots of information about how the distillery works and finishing with a tasting session and a full size gin or rum with mixture of your choice. If you buy any items in the gift shop there’s a 10% discount as well. Definitely recommend a visit.

Overall a great tour, talk and drink. Very infomrative staff who clearly know what they're talking about and have a passion for it. It's only a small distillery and so there's very little walking about and were made very comfortable for the tour to start. Great drinks follwing, with the choice to coohse your own poison at the end. Great stuff (and very nice gin, rum and vodka!)

Best gin distillary tour we have been on. We started with the history of gin and why some of the sayings like “mothers ruin” came about. Good tastings with tips on best things to add. This was followed by a tour and welcome drink.

Friends treated my partner and I to a distillery tour for Christmas and we booked this easily in the January for an April date and made a weekend of it, staying in Stratford Upon Avon itself.  We arrived a little early for our tour, but Sam greeted us warmly and we relaxed over a couple of G&Ts and snacks in the cafe whilst everyone assembled. Sam kindly gave us recommendations for restaurants and bars in town which were very helpful and demonstrated the care and attention evident in this distillery.  The tour itself was great and all three presenters were excellent and very knowledgeable. The equipment in the distillery was impressive, as was the choice of bottle design and brand identity overall. It was particularly interesting to hear about their journey in producing rum too, especially as they seem to have maximised the lockdown periods to embark on a new venture.  The gin tasting was excellent and I particularly liked their Stratford Dry (which we had already loved in the bar right at the start!). It was great to see the mixers offered to compliment each gin and my partner sampled the rum too. We were impressed and in a very happy mood as the tour concluded, just over the stated 90 minutes. At the end, we maximised the discount offered in the shop and took home 3 bottles of spirits, some taster glasses and a lovely toat bag to carry it all in!  Very happy to recommend this experience and praise the team at Shakespeare Distillery. Well done and keep up your hard work! 

Very informative tour by Claire & team. Enjoyed learning about the processes gone through to make gin and rum which made it more interesting when doing the tasting at the end of the tour. Would definitely recommend a visit.

This is an outstanding experience which me and my partner really enjoyed. If you are interested in the history and making of gin, plus enjoy drinking it, you will love this tour. There is an engaging and entertaining presentation about the history of gin (more interesting than it sounds!), followed by a tour and explanation of how they make their gin (and rum) and then you get to see in the bottling room. Finally there are tastings, the best but obviously! You get to try 3 gins plus enjoy a full drink with mixer. The setting is wonderful in the countryside! Although you will need a taxi to get there. The building and interior is really nice and welcoming too, modern and a cool vibe. We arrived a bit early, but there is a very reasonably priced and comfortable cafe onsite which was a nice way for us to start our experience. This is a family run business, and the staff are superb. They are very friendly, knowledgable and passionate about what they do. There’s an opportunity to chat to them at the end if you want to know more, or want some drinking recommendations! I did this experience as a birthday celebration and cannot recommend it enough!

Very interesting and professionally run session. I now know lots more about gin than I did beforehand. Good tasting session at the end.
