Well worth the tour. Cost of tour also gets you a gin and tonic or miniature to take away if you are driving and a reduction off of any purchase. The tour is very interesting and a lot of little known facts are revealed. Opportunity to taste plenty of gin in various stages (i.e. strong) on the tour. The history... More

We prebooked an intermediate tour prior to our visit to the area and my wife and I were made most welcome by Pippa and other staff members on our arrival, delighted to find that the character, centuries old main building in a historic part of Plymouth had managed to survive The Blitz. The section of the tour on the gin... More

We took booked the gin connoisseur's tour (more expensive and longer than the basic tour)and took my parents as a present. It was just the 4 of us and we spent a good hour and a half being shown round and indulging in tasting of 5 different gins. We were there on a Tuesday which meant they were actually distilling...

We managed to get a place on the last tour of the day, on Good Friday, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly, had actually just done a dissertation on Sloe Gin so was obviously very interested in the whole process. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stay in the bar, but will definitely go... More

We sadly didnt have enough time in Plymouth to do the tour (although we heard its very good) so we only visited the cocktail bar and the shop. The cocktail lounge is very well equipped with all kinds of drinks. Not only do they of course make cocktails will all the kinds of Plymouth Gin, they also have a good... More

Not subsidised or over promoted, just offered by the company to show something of their product. Very interesting and well explained and presented. Thought it might get technical or dull. Not for one minute. At the end were taken to the spectacular bar in the left hand building, a fantastic wood beamed room and stylish bar. The inclusive drinks and... More

The visit we elected to have was the shorter of the three that are on offer and was very interesting and informative. The visit was then followed by a plunder of the Distillery Shop for the necessary fluid memorabilia and Plymouth Gin branded jute ' Bag for Life'. More

You can easily walk past this place and miss it! If you are planning a visit to Plymouth it is well worth booking a tour in advance. The connoisseur tour is around an hour and half in duration and both fun and informative. The tour starts with the history of Plymouth Gin, then on to the distillery. It is worth... More

Very interesting and educational tour with guided small tasting at the end. We loved the option at the end of free Gin to drink now or take away (giving the drivers choice). More
