“It was one of the best distillery tours. Sharon and Dave were super knowledgeable and fun to listen to. I’ve definitely learned a lot from the tour including why we use some expressions in english language included ‘drunk blinde’. Already recommended to some people. I might also do it again when near by.”

4.Gin Tasting at Judith’s, Shakespeare Distillery

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 1 hour · from $19Best value

Meet at Shakespeare Distillery’s shop in Judith Shakespeare’s former home for a one-hour English-language tasting. Begin with a Stratford Dry Gin and Tonic, hear how gin developed and how the distillery makes its spirits, then sample three more drinks with mixer advice. Adults taste; ages 8 to 17 receive soft drinks.

“Not quite the format expected as it was a virtual tour at the shop and not the actual distillery. We probably assumed it was mass produced and thought it would be like a brewery tour. However the session was very enjoyable and informative. A veritable gin education. Thank you”
