Whether you're booking for yourself, planning a gift, or organising a group experience, here’s exactly what you can expect when you join us at the distillery.

A Warm Welcome in the Heart of Stockport

Your experience begins in our Stockport Town Centre distillery, where you’ll be welcomed in and introduced to the history of gin and the story behind Stockport Gin.

We’re proud to be part of the local community, producing small-batch gin and vodka right here in Stockport town centre. During your visit, you’ll learn how our journey began, what inspires our spirits, and why local production matters to everything we do.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at How Gin Is Made

One of the highlights of the tour is seeing how gin is actually made.

We’ll guide you through the distillation process, explaining how we carefully select botanicals and develop flavour profiles that define our range of spirits.

You’ll discover:

• How gin gets its flavour from botanicals
• The role of distillation in creating smooth, balanced spirits
• What makes craft gin different from mass-produced alternatives

This part of the experience is perfect for anyone interested in learning more about gin production in the UK.

Guided Gin Tasting Experience

Of course, no distillery tour would be complete without tasting.

You’ll enjoy a guided tasting of our award-winning gins, where we’ll talk you through flavour notes, serving suggestions, and the best ways to enjoy each serve.

Whether you prefer a classic G&T or something more adventurous, you’ll get to explore different styles and discover what suits your taste.

This is often the part guests enjoy most - and it’s a great way to experience gin in a more thoughtful, relaxed setting.
