5.00Very personalized experience. The small group experience isn't just a gin tasting, but a full lesson on the history of gin in Britain. The gins are lovely and they have a wide variety of types, as well as tonics to pair them with, if you wish. You choose whether to taste straight or to mix with the recommended tonic. You will leave learning a bit more about how gin is made, what type of gins you may like, tasting methods and how gin has played such a strong role in British history. After the tasting, you do get a discount on purchasing bottles as well as good discount on Gin and Tonics, which is better than you'll probably find at local bars!
Excellent Gin (both in Taste and Experience)

5.00We had a fantastic time with Susannah and Issy. Their energy and passion made the experience really engaging (in what was already going to be a fun evening with a lot of great tasting Gin). You got to try 6 of York Gin's flagship gins, plus received a G&T at the start and end which we thought was a great amount to receive for the price we paid. Good value for money for the 2 hour experience.
Great way to spend an afternoon in York

5.00A great way to spend an afternoon in York with yr best friend. We had a midweek booking and it turned out there was just the 2 of us. We were appreciative that they kept our booking. Could easily have cancelled and we would’ve been very disappointed. There was a number of their Gins to taste & cocktails which were really good. Talk on the history of the Gin & York was interesting. The lady that undertook the experience was lovely – unfortunately I forget her name but she was a French lady. We would thoroughly recommend this experience well worth the money. Really enjoyed the taste of the gin too.
