SALCOMBE GIN-Gin School Lesson for two

At our outstanding distilling laboratory for adults, together they will take charge of a beautiful mini copper still to develop and distil their very own 70cl bottle of gin to share.

The Gin School experience
The experience starts at The Boathouse with a ‘Salcombe & Tonic’ each at our distillery bar overlooking the Salcombe estuary. (Soft drinks/coffee are also available).

With drinks in hand, our distiller will give them a guided tour of our distillery and explain the art of distillation and what it takes to produce a well-balanced and harmonious gin.

Then it’s over to our Gin School laboratory to get the ‘magical alchemy’ underway at one of our ten beautiful mini-copper stills.

They’ll start by choosing the ingredients from our range of 100+ botanicals to create their unique gin recipe – some also like to bring their own botanicals to experiment with.

With step-by-step guidance through the fascinating distillation process, our distiller will teach them how to produce a delicious hand-crafted gin and once the still run is underway, there will be plenty of time for another round of ‘Salcombe & Tonics’.

With the distillation process complete, they’ll both sample and name their unique creation, before bottling and applying their personalised label ready to take home with them in one of our exclusive Gin School wooden presentation boxes to share.

The experience concludes back at our distillery bar where it’s time to relax and enjoy the view whilst tasting the newly created gin with a range of garnishes and tonics.
