Calling all Gin Lovers

The experience included tour and mixology session. Izzy our tour guide was friendly, professional, clearly knew her history about the distillery. Marcus w.as funny, informative during the mixology session. Overall highly recommend, you learn fact you never knew and being Indian and finding out the rupee was made at the factory many centuries ago was amazing.

Very interesting tour.

A fantastic look at the distilling of a famous gin. Very knowledgeable guide who explained all the processes and explained about the botanicals which are used. The site is surprisingly small to produce so much gin and I was not aware that the original factory produced bank notes. The gin flight after the tour was good as the stages of how to taste and rate gins was explained before sampling. All in all a great tour and one to be recommended.

Hot day and Cool Gin

Very enjoyable trip excellent guide, and very nice lunchtime snacks in the cafe. Beware, if approaching from the north entrance comes up a tad quickly. Could do with an advance sign.

Highly recommended tour around the Bombay distillery.

We had Debbie for our guide, who was excellent, she was enthusiastic and gave us lots of interesting facts about the distillery and how gin was made. We all enjoyed it and can recommend this tour around the distillery, which is set in a lovely part of England.

Can't beat a G&T

My partner loves her gin, and we were staying nearby, so booked a tour for our anniversary. From start to finish the whole tour was amazing. The site is beautiful and the experience is not rushed and our tour guide was brilliant, so informative, funny . The cafe was a great place to have a gin and tonic and something to eat, sitting underneath a Bombay Sapphire umbrella..
