    Distillery Tour & Tasting
    Wonderful distillery, bar and shop - award winning gins and a growing portfolio of small batch whiskies with various cask finishes. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! 🥃

    So worth popping in!
    We had a lovely afternoon at the distillery tour! As long time fans of Ludlow gin we were excited for the opportunity to see how it was made, what we actually had was so much more.. an education in London dry Gin, a lesson on the best ice to gin to tonic ratio and plenty of Gin, Whiskey and Brandy tastings! My husband came along as our designated driver and walked away with his sample bottle, he’s now converted and stealing my gin! Will definitely be back for a drink in the shop next time we’re passing!

    Fascinating tour and incredible whisky and gin
    What an amazing time we had at Ludlow Distillery. Ed gave us the tour which was fun and fascinating and we got the opportunity to chat with Shaun in the shop too. We’d highly recommend the tour and we bought some 5-year old whisky and also some fabulous No.1 gin too. If you’re near Ludlow, don’t miss it! We’ll be back when we can!

    Very informative
    We enjoyed this short tour. I'd like to return when the distillery is actually operational. Sarah was a fantastic guide, very engaging and funny. The samples were flowing, it was great to try things I wouldn't normally try. The gin of course is amazing and we took advantage of the 10% off in the shop afterwards. The tour is up a flight of stairs and the distillery part could use some seating for those less able to stand.

    Welcome to First Class
    Superb tour by Sarah though I was lucky enough to bump into many of the team. They’re all massively enthusiastic and knowledgeable and made me very welcome. The new shop area is stunning and the products… well… they speak for themselves. First class.

    Gin o’clock
    We were in Ludlow for lunch and had some friends visiting. The tour was a great add on and everyone really enjoyed it (and all the samples). Really fun and interesting tour guide Ed, who had a real passion and knowledge of the whole process. Whether you like/love gin or whiskey or neither, it’s well worth a visit. Shop was well stocked and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Would recommend leaving some time to visit the farm shop next door too.

    Great Gin Tasting
    Great selection of gins and personal interaction with the very knowledgeable staff. I hadn’t intended to buy anything, but couldn’t resist once I’d sampled the fine liquor. Amazingly whisky produced here too. Didn’t do the tour but certainly would like to next time. This would be great for a hen party - there’s a pub with rooms next door. I highly recommend the Ludlow Distillery, you won’t be disappointed!

    Try before you buy… a very happy visit 😂
    Sarah was absolutely fantastic, went in to try some gins and very impressed with the selection on offer. Sarah listened to my preferences and then let me sample a fair few! Also got a blue light card - excellent for fellow NHS workers. Already planning a trip back from Cambridge to do the distillery tour as we didn’t have time today. Thanks again Sarah, will definitely be cheering to you when I tuck into those lovely gins back home!

    Creative and fun afternoon
    I visited the distillery and shop today, I attended the Gin School, what a great way to spend an afternoon! After a thorough informative tour I set to making my own bottle. With help from our tutor Sarah I selected my favourite flavours to go into the mix. WOW what an amazing result, just a shame I didnt make 2, but they do keep your recipe on file so they can make more for you!!!! If you visit make sure you allow time for sampling their vodka's and whisky too.. Thank you Sarah for a great afternoon. I cant recommed highly enough...

We attended the gin making class, one of the first after their soft launch, and had a great time with our instructor. She was attentive, knowledgeable and humerous and the guidance provided lead to a wonderfully tasting gin. Using the still to make it was lots of fun, and so simple, we would highly recommend this activity to anyone who has a passion for gin and likes to experiment with tastes.
